|  3 seconds. With our latest release, mp3.com loads in about 30 seconds.

No delay with KDE 3.0.1 here. (Mandrake RPMs)
Samll note: downloading from that site was somewhat slow, probably due to the 
overload of this site. Sometimes speed itself was 190 bytes/sec. (not 190KB!)
I am on 2Mbit connection at office, so 200KB/sec. is quite achievable.

|  6 seconds apart.
|

|  local webservers.
|
|  GET / HTTP/1.1
|  Connection: Keep-Alive
|  User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.1 (CVS >= 20020327))

Isn't it KDE 3.0 branch, pre-3.0.1 release?
