I have noticed a pretty strange phenomenon that sounds similar to what you
are experiencing. I am using Netscape Communicator 4.5 on a Windows NT 4
system, just FYI. On occasion, when I attempt to load secure pages hosted
by my Red Hat/Apache server, it takes a very long time for them to load. I
discovered a trick, though. I keep another browser window open to a simple
web page out there. When I notice the big SSL lag occurring, I Alt-tab
over to the other window and hit Refresh. The SSL page in the primary
window immediately begins to load also, as if there was some sort of TCP/IP
lockup that got cleared by my refreshing the other browser window.
The other browser window need not even be pointed to a secure page nor does
it have to be pointed to my own server. This trick even works when I
switch to my Netscape mail reader and tell it to get the mail. Right away,
the SSL page begins to load. Weird.
