Maybe its just me, but after upgrading to 4.720 (latest beta) from 4.021 my internet access is extremely responsive now. Hardware is exactly the same and all used ASL features have already been re-configured by hand in 4.720! Thanks ASL! Someone mentioned the beta has not been optimized, if this is correct, the final release should fly!
