I noticed that all of my internet activity was compromised since updating to Leopard so in addition to exploring articles like this, I also l googled Leopard dns cache postings. I eventually stumbled upon postings that suggested that some ISPs are having problems with their DNS servers due to some changes in IP addresses that they hadn't implemented yet. Many people suggested switching DNS lookups to OpenDNS. OpenDNS is a free DNS service that claims to provide superior DNS lookups. I gave it a try. The performance of all of my internet searches have significantly improved: gems, plugins, Safari, and Firefox. Check it out. One more thing.
