You can watch task manager as you issue a request.
If you see IE (or whatever browser you're using) using low CPU for 10
seconds, then see it busy as the page loads, the slowness is somewhere
behind that.
If you see if busy all 10-15 seconds, then it's your browser, or browser
settings.  Try Firefox instead of IE; we've seen that make a huge difference
on some web apps.

You can do similar tricks watching task manager on the Admin Center box.

At least you have a repeatable problem.  ;-}
