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".
