Chris, With only fedex ground, it takes ~4 seconds. If i bump it up one more (add 2 day), ~7 seconds Add one more (express), ~10.29 seconds.
I'm assuming since the standard satchmo checkout has the payment and shipping tied together, you are using the payment/shipping form to get the dynamic rates? There isn't any other 'simple' form that your using that may make it quicker? (i created a simple form since i want to get rates anywhere on the site with the current cart items, not just at checkout, but that still didn't make a difference). The biggest thing I've noticed between fedex and usps is that even if i have verbose logs unchecked, the log file is filled with thousands of lines of fedex request. That can't be good for it speed. Does this sound normal? In regard to using the contact information, I'm about 99% sure that fedex/usps only uses zip code & country to get rates, so having more than that available wont be of any benefit. I'm not sure about UPS though. thanks!
