3 second lag when making http request to localhost
I'm using Windows Vista Business on a brand new Lenovo x61s laptop with 2G
RAM and a 1.6Ghz Intel Core Duo CPU. I'm running a web server on the laptop and am finding a strange lag of about 3 or 4 seconds when I try to access local content (i.e. short text or html files on my C drive served by my local web server). In contrast, access to remote websites is lightning fast with this machine and connection, and applications seem to be performing well on the machine overall. Local http requests are the only problem so far. I've tried a couple of web servers (including Apache) and have seen the problem in all of them. I've tried accessing the content in both IE and Firefox. I've tried URLs of all the following forms: http://localhost/mylocalfile.txt, http://127.0.0.1/mylocalfile.txt, http://my-pc-name/mylocalfile.txt. The best advice I found in a couple of hours of web searching was 1) set the network.dns.disableIPv6 config property to true in Firefox [didn't help, and as mentioned, the problem surfaces in IE as well], and 2) turn off TCP autotuning with "netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled" [didn't help]. Is there anything I'm overlooking that would explain why access to a _local_ site would be slow when the machine performs well overall and remote sites are loading quickly?

3 second lag when making http request to localhost
It appears that Zonealarm was causing the problem even though 1) I had
properly configured program permissions for the web servers and browsers, and 2) I had tested with Zonealarm shutdown. If you see similar behavior you may want to try a complete uninstall. I had used Zonealarm happily on an XP machine for years and had never encountered this issue.
