Do you control the API service? If so, it's like any other web program, and you can optimize it the same way you would any other web program - look for unnecessary work done at runtime, etc. If you don't control the API service, there isn't a lot you can do. There might be a problem with your machine's network connection. You could try making the request from another machine on a different network and see what happens. You don't need to use CFHTTP to test this kind of thing - you can use any HTTP client, including wget etc. And, as Russ mentioned, ping and HTTP times aren't connected in any useful way.
