I've seen 5 sec occasionally getting an rss feed of about 28 KB using java.net.URL.openConnection().getInputStream() and then parsing it with SAXParser. It looks like you're doing a POST to send form data(?) so you may have to stick with HTTPClient.
If you're doing frequent requests, you can probably take advantage of HTTPClient's "keep-alive" connection management. If you're looking for optimizations, I strongly suggest you create a test app which performs the same request you're having performance problems with. Collect more data, such as the size of the request and response. Try the same request from a different platform (like your laptop or desktop). Compare the network paths between the desktop and Android to the server. I know you'd like to just get an answer "do this/try this". I hope that by looking into the problem in more detail you''ll find a solution.
