Just a bit of follow-up to my problem with slow Web page delivery on my WBEL
system:

1) System moved to a P4 2.4GHz system with 512MB RAM (from PIII-500 with
256MB) - helped a bit, but still noticed a delay.

2) Noticed that my comparison system (a PIII-500 with 256MB running RH9) had
the ISP's DNS servers listed in resolv.conf (that site has no local DNS
server) whereas the WBEL site had the address of the Internet gateway listed
(using the gateway as a forwarder). Changed WBEL resolv.conf to the ISP's
DNS servers and the delay on Web page serving is now as expected. 

Thanks to all who posted suggestions on this issue.
