There is a problem in Ubuntu where browsers will hangs for a few seconds, displaying "resolving host..." before displaying your requested page (this was one of the reasons I aborted a previous flirtation with linux). It is connected with DNS and IPv6 apparently.
Anyway, I've found a cure, here. Basically it involved using Google's DNS servers - I was using my routers originally.

Upgrading Ubuntu
Decided to upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04. Apparently it's advisable to go to 9.10 first but this wasn't being offered as an upgrade path in the package manager.
Found a useful post here. Basically, hit Alt+F2, enter "update-manager -d" and the update manager will show the upgrade to 9.10.
