Question

Websites like yahoo and google taking incredibly long to load.

Answer 1

Hi r_saha,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that when using Safari some specific websites are slow to load. There could be a couple of different steps I would suggest to help you get this resolved. I suggest trig a different DNS service first; the steps can be found in the following article.
Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Resolution
Your DNS server(s) or your router may be affected by DNS prefetching in Safari 5.0.1 or later.
First, try a different DNS service
Try a different DNS service, such as one of the DNS services below. This will test to see if the root cause of your issue lies with your selected DNS servers.
OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/)
Google DNS (http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/)
Or, search the Internet for "Third-party DNS services" for more options and information
For information about how to change DNS settings in Mac OS X, see Editing DNS and search domain settings.
If the issue persists in Safari, return to your original DNS server settings if desired, then continue with the next section.
I hope this helps,
