Another big potential source of latency on startup is the DNS lookup. A few bad DNS servers in the lookup path, or a misconfigured name service switch config could potentially add up to 40 seconds of delay. Subsequent connects wouldn't see that delay because the results would be cached for a while. >>> Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
