Sharepoint 2013 slow - Distributed Cache issue

After a fresh install of Sharepoint 2013 I found that navigation was very slow.  It would take 10 - 30 seconds between pages depending on scenario and page.

Looking online I found that some had found that stopping the distributed cache would fix, but after starting again it would slow down.

I finally found this link which helped: http://microsofttouch.fr/default/b/vincent/archive/2012/12/22/service-de-cache-distribu-233-de-sharepoint-2013-spdistributedcacheservice-comment-ne-pas-se-manger.aspx

Opened the Sharepoint 2013 Management Shell (run as administrator).
Stop-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance -Graceful
Remove-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance
Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance

Then start the distributed cache server.  Now it runs lightening fast.
