No solution yet.

did you disable tcp/ip v6 as the person did in the link?

May be some related to this:

I have the same issue. The System Monitor Network History shows the network being hit 70-100% for long periods of time, certainly beyond the content of the web page. CPU does not appear to be taking an extraordinary hit. On loading web pages, 7.10 takes 5-10 times longer than 7.04.

I am going to have to reverse what I said--this morning the network history sat at about 10% during the long page load.

I had the same problem and the answer on my computer was that my router's IP was listed in the DNS servers list. I deleted the entry and I have my full cable speed back!

I should have checked this out more before I said I had and answer. In fact, all I did was to mask the symptom. By deleting my router's IP address from the DNS servers list, I had fast browsing like I should, but my router's DHCP server was assigning itself as DNS so the problem came back when I restarted the network. I finally went with the first suggestion, to disable IPv6, and now all seems well.
