It is an eternity, but like I say how reliable is the free online testing? So for example one result says the dns lookup is 10 seconds, but the site itself takes only 6 seconds to load...how weird?
A ping test is resulting in milliseconds response, which is good, but something is really wrong here....I do have realtime rbls "off" for asl, as well i have the 127.0.0.1 listed at the top in my.conf.....
Yes I am using msqltuner and php accelerator.. mysql reads all good in the tuner and the accelerator I guess is working, I see the caching figures for the php numbers...
The sites actually load quickly and they are very snappy for joomla and wordpress, so I feel good about the server delivering data properly....
This is a new server for me, and I am untrained as an admin...but upon looking at the messages and errors, then looking at the conclusions in this forum and other Linux forums, I have concluded that this basic issue may actually be IPV6 related...I am getting tons of resolving errors and messages, so I will be disabling the IPV6 on my server this evening, because I will have to reboot...
Thanks for the responses, and I will re-post after disabling IPV6 to give the results....
Just for benchmarking here are todays results for two joomla sites (yes I know there are issues with the number of CSS files and script files, and this is a new site in progress...they will get compressed later)

Again, this result after removing IPv6 from my system...very startling difference...7 or 8 seconds download for a joomla site, 154 images, 15 css files and 13 scripts...I can't complain about this download...
