My instant gut reaction here is to say 'IPv6'. If your DNS setup is
wrong on the 'local' machine, then whenever it tries to look up
localhost it could well be spending ages trying to query it up the DNS
hierarchy. This would explain the burst traffic: every HTTP connection
would involve a very long pause for the lookup, and then normal traffic
thereafter.

I don't know if this is actually the case or not, but don't ask me how
to fix it --- I don't use IPv6 on any machines I admin. But these links
might be relevant:
