What third-party-apps are installed on the system?
Third-party-content may heavily affect the system performance or the loading time for certain pages (e.g. by macros). Therefore it is always interesting to know which apps are used.
If you notice performance issues after installing / updating a certain app, you might test to deactivate it and see if the system is still slow.

Some JavaScript functions cause problems only in some browsers. If a page is slow in the Internet Explorer, you might check with Chrome or Firefox and see if the problem persists.
