I guess it seems like a long time compared to a 3.2GHz CPU - that CPU could do those actions in about 0.000000003 seconds... 0.1ms on the scale of the CPU feels like a year

@Tim it could, if it wasn't doing anything else. Also, it's not only the CPU involved, RAM and its bus should be considered as well. As a side note, I usually do network performance tests on the loopback interface of routers to measure their upper bound: if it's below 1gbps I certainly don't want that router on a 1gbps link.

In my case, ping localhost is between 0.1 and 0.3 ms, but http localhost is 0.04 ms or 40 microseconds on average. I wonder why ping is slower..
