Hi Colin, Huges,

Slowness is fixed, you can use the http://fluidenage.org/engage/home/home.html 
url as before.

The issue is actually something specific to OSX variants that I've run into 
before.

OSX does not handle reverse DNS (rDNS) entries for the initiating host very 
well. One symptom is very slow initial SSH connections to a remote host. 
Another, the slowness with apache. Essentially by not using a sane hostname, 
the client device ends up forcing Apache to do a lookup on the host that is 
requesting a page. Since devices being used are iphones, ipods, and some 
developer machines around here and all run OSX, the slowness is limited to 
those devices. e.g. On my Linux machines with more robust DNS the site loaded 
consistently fast, every time I requested it.

To work around the issue I've disabled all hostname lookups in Apache on the 
production site. I'm going to do one more restart to switch Apache back to 
using AJP instead of HTTP since the former is a more optimized protocol for 
Apache and Tomcat when they are working together.

Cheers, Jamon
