I think that bit was sheer luck, it seems to be unrelated (which makes
more sense since I've turned KA off to try and debug what's going on.

I've changed all my browser settings down to the bare minimum - no
persistent connections, 1 connection at once, no pipelining etc.

What I can see is after the initial syn, syn/ack, ack from the
browser, there is a typically just under 15s wait until it sends
Client Hello.

I wondered if this was due to lack of entropy so I've symlinked
/dev/random to /dev/urandom temporarily (no help), and I've tried
wiggling the mouse around (not sure where firefox gets randomness
from).  This hasn't helped either.

OTOH I'm suprised no-one else has seen this, but since the file in
question is .swf fetched via javascript, maybe that's why?   Trying a
dummy page with just 50 images on it, the client hello is always
instantaneous.

Very puzzling (well to me at least :-))
