Thanks Dave. I also saw that bit of code and was hoping there was something I could do in the CouchDb config to influence it, but apparently not.
It's actually not critical to do this: the underlying problem is the .NET WebRequest trying the IPv6 address for localhost before the IPv4 one, which introduces a one second delay to calls. I can work around it by resolving localhost to an IPv4 address before the WebRequest. That's probably easier than the alternatives.
