in reply to Slow HTTP::Async responses

I'm on a particularly slow link here so nothing takes less than 5s, but I don't notice much of a difference either way. Sometimes the LWP::UserAgent is faster, sometimes the HTTP::Async one. As I take it you've done a network dump, can you see where the time difference goes, i.e. if it's the sending of the request or the processing of the answer that gets delayed?
