[Catalyst] Catalyst test server response times.

[Ian Docherty]

Further information on this.

If I make a request to a page served by apache on this server via wget, 
the response is very quick,
typically less than a second during which wget displays the 'HTTP 
request sent, awaiting response'.

If I make a request to a page served by the Catalyst server, wget waits 
something like 12 seconds
or more displaying the 'HTTP request sent, awaiting response...' after 
which time the catalyst server
displays the request (with the 0.2 seconds response time etc.) and 
returns the document.

Furthermore, I have created a new bog-standard Catalyst application and 
the problem is there
also.

So the delay seems to be occurring before Catalyst gets to see the request.
