I currently have a java runtime class which I use to download files through Https. The transfer is done successfully, except that the OpenConnection method as well as opening the input stream takes a considerable amount of time. Often between 1-2 minutes. I have however tested the exact class on an NT machine and the outcome is much faster clocking in at 5-10 seconds. I've used machines that vary from 350MHz PII (Win95 or WinNT) to 866MHz PIII (Win95) in speed. Any help would be appreciated.
Could the OS have such a significant impact on the speed?
