You might want to check your resolv.conf, having an ip that you cant
access in there could be causing some things to load extremely slowly as
they have to wait for a query to 
timeout or something - running ppp obviously lets you access your ISP's
name server providing you have resolv.conf setup for that ip - you could
always run your own caching only name server for that and chuck the
boxes own ip into resolv.conf.
Mebe upgrading /etc to be inline with -CURRENT you overwrote a few name
resolution related files..
