I like it. (And the StopWatch in std.datetime would make it super easy. StopWatch is freaking awesome.) But newgroup/forum posts don't always get responses after only a few hours. And even a total lack of replies shouldn't be mistaken for a "no" vote. So I wouldn't worry too much about that. Could you be more specific what you mean by "hiccup"? I assume you mean that once in a while a page load will be slower than usual. If so, about how long? My wild random guesses, aside from your ideas, are that maybe your request just happens to occur at the right time for the forum to decide to refresh its cache (if it even works that way). Or maybe it could be related to the newsgroup server (which the web forum is just a frontend for) being temporarily down due to high load (which unfortunately has been happening a lot lately). Vladimir would probably have a better idea what might be going on than I would, though.
