This is not completely fair. The sites you mention are all
high-traffic sites (which they should be), but then bandwidth also
comes into play.

I'm in Europe. www.apple.com and AppleStore are both mostly quite
slow for me, but occasionally speeds up.
> Microsoft: Using ASP: Atrociously Slow Pages
Yes. Microsoft said so themselves. "ASP", they said. No meaning to
repeat @8=]
> Oracle: Slow
Yup. The "yellow pages" site of a phone company here recently
converted from perl to Oracle, and it suddenly became much, much
slower. Oracle as a database is very, very fast. Oracle has a web
app server isn't.

I dunno about the response times you get from IBM, but their site is
fast for me.
