Do this!
Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections Tab > LAN Settings > Uncheck Automatically Detect Settings

Windows, for compatibility reasons, has Automatically Detect Proxy settings enabled. It unfortunately adds a significant lag to loading web pages in Steam as well as other internet dependent applications. Nearly no one needs this compatibility feature anymore, worst case if something goes wrong simply re-check the box. To disable this option follow the TL;DR at the top.

Hm, not sure if it's placebo, but things do seem to be loading faster....But they were by no means slow to begin with for me. Thanks for bringing this to our attention OP.
