I found the problem. It was a problem with python socket library.
Apparently the socket wasn't being buffered properly, or at least that's
my understanding.
The problem was in the socket.py library, found in Ubuntu 9.10 under
/usr/lib/python2.6/socket.py
At around line 500, replace this line
for res in getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, SOCK_STREAM):
with this on
for res in getaddrinfo(host, port, AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM):
Apparently now the socket will be properly buffered. With the old line,
wiki login took about 90 seconds for me. Now it takes less than a second.
Hope that helps someone else.
