Does the system slow down when you have your internet connection enabled, but aren't explicitly using it (i.e., not using a browser)? If so, look at the netstat output (as root) to see what's going on. You may have some process that runs when the connection is enabled that is taking up system/network resources.
Separately, turn off javascript in the browser you are using and see if that has an effect.
Javascript - if you're using firefox, install NoScript last week.
NoScript selectively blocks javascript, it doesn't turn it off -- which for testing purposes, at least, is the goal.
In ff -- about:config - then enter "javascript" in the search line and set "javascript.enabled" to false.
With chrome this can be done in the advanced settings section, under "site settings".
Right... but it also prevents the site's javascript from loading 15 other pages, including doubleclick, or gigya (really?) or adserver....
