If I manually specify POP7 its fine too, its only when I don't specify a proxy at all that it is useless, but DNS lookups are slow for ftp & OE as well so it looks like a more general problem.

*sigh* Guess I'm going to have to get in the queue for TS after all..

I've raised it as a fault using the online form indicated to me by monkeybreath in a PM

cheers
