I had this problem too and found some bogus DNS servers had creeped into 
Network Setup, even though everything had been set to DCHP before (and I 
assumed after) the upgrade.  My guess was that network was waiting for 
them to timeout before contacting my real DNS server.  Key symptom is 
eons to start loading a page/download a file/whatever, but normal 
performance once the activity actually starts.

I know it sounds noob, but check to make sure there aren't any 
unexpected DNS Servers in System Prefs -> Network -> Advanced (for the 
correct interface) -> DNS.
