Ok I've got an update, and again I really don't understand why this
should be the case but it almost renders my last question mute. 
Apparently the time lag is only only really seen if I test on the same
computer which is running the xmlrpc server.  If I run the server on
one computer and test on an other no significant time lag.  Like I said
I really don't understand why that should be the case, but I guess as
long as it works.
