Well, I did "time wget -d www.google.fi" and got real 0m0.737s for the whole operation. This, of course, includes the time to start up wget, the time to establish TCP/IP connection, the time to download the page and save it to the disk and the time for wget to exit. Even then, the whole operation took only 0.7 seconds, so I think that we can safely conclude that the problem is Freenet itself, not my ISP. Freenet is, of course, running at nice 19, so maybe that adds some scheduling latency ?
