In my experiments, I've run into a long(ish) delay when I ask for a url behind http auth:
$ time wget -S http://www.koldfront.local/stats/ [...¹] real 0m16.799s [...] Going directly to Apache: $ time wget -S http://www.koldfront.local:8080/stats/ [...²] real 0m0.013s [...] I have previously observed such delays on pages where I didn't return a Content-Length header (or, embarrassingly, did it wrong) - is this related, or should it just work when Apache sends 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked'? (I have configured Varnish to 'pass' if there is an WWW-Authenticate or Authorization-header³ - I hope that is correct).
