IonPixel Browser/OS Testing


What's wrong here?

Granted, the XP machine is a better rig, but Linux box has nothing on it. It's nearly a fresh install (done yesterday) If anyone has any suggestions, please email me at mike@ionpixel.com. No flames please, I'm not a linux hater just trying to figure out what's up.

UPDATE!

Someone suggested using OpenDNS.com's dns servers, although this test is supposed to only measure client side performance of the browser, it did seem to improve over all performance substantially for the Ubuntu browsers and for most of the Windows versions (aside from Firefox, which suffered from a slight decrease in performance, even after several tests) Regardless! Browsing on my Ubuntu box is MUCH more bearable now :) If you have any questions or comments please email me :)
