My results are 4.7s (unencrypted) vs 6.8s (encrypted). I suspect that there are MITM things going on in some people's ISPs on HTTP connections.

technically this is fucked.

is someone slowing down the http traffic to look at each packet and deciding if it should be allowed to pass?

Surprise. surprise.

Don't tell microshit though.

Perhaps they still surf their own intranet with IE 8 for some stone-age interfaces.
