Hm, for me both sites seem to load reasonably fast here, but I just tested it once right now. You could try something like this (with show_msg=YES):

dillo http://craigslist.org/ | gawk '{ print strftime("[%Y-%m-%d % H:% M:%S]"), $0 }'

Maybe that gives a hint what is taking up time.

It's something in the Nav_open_url process. I don't have this delay using other browsers, so I don't think it's a DNS issue.

Well, there's clearly a time taken by dpid to start. Fire a new dillo, ask for the bookmarks (this will get dpid running), then go to craigslist.org and see if the delay persists.

The delay persists.

If yes, try with another DNS. Other browsers seem to default to google ones.

I tried with only google's 8.8.8.8 DNS server, same thing. I think this could be something else. The delay happens after the Nav_open_url https://geo.craigslist.org line. I noticed that with the links terminal browser, the DNS activity is four pairs of A and AAAA queries: -- dns with links -- 06:36 : query[A] craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 06:36 : query[AAAA] craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 06:36 : query[A] www.craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 06:36 : query[AAAA] www.craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 06:36 : query[A] geo.craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 06:36 : query[AAAA] geo.craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 06:36 : query[A] montreal.craigslist.ca from 10.0.0.1 06:36 : query[AAAA] montreal.craigslist.ca from 10.0.0.1 -- While dillo has an extra www.craigslist.org query, and none of the last three have a corresponding AAAA query: -- dns with dillo 06:46 : query[A] craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 06:46 : query[AAAA] craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 06:47 : query[A] www.craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 06:47 : query[AAAA] www.craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 06:47 : query[A] www.craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 06:47 : query[A] geo.craigslist.org from 10.0.0.1 08:18 : query[A] montreal.craigslist.ca from 10.0.0.1 --
