You are using a slow reference system, I can be faster:

[ ZnEasy get: 
'http://mc.stfx.eu/ZincHTTPComponents/Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.261.mcz' ] 
timeToRun. 454
[ ZnEasy head: 
'http://mc.stfx.eu/ZincHTTPComponents/Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.261.mcz' ] 
timeToRun. 92

What I mean is, the server is another problem than the client side.
