Interesting.  Are you sure it's not caused by server side effects?  I
mean, the URL you are retrieving seems to come from a PHP script - and
that can do anything it wants to waste time, including parsing client
identifier etc.  I would have preferred to test with a static HTML
page.

Btw, something you might not know: there is module Benchmark that can
be easily used for these kinds of things.  It also does nice printing
and differentiation between kernel and user times, automatic ramp up
if needed etc. :-)

Kind regards

robert
