Thanks for this Gerald, but I believe it's server-related. The same site on
an ISP's server, and on my other (Linux) server, doesn't suffer from the
pause. Also this server didn't at first - I noticed it first within the past
two weeks. I think it's because of something I did configuration-wise, so I
suppose what I am really hoping for is a clue as to what that might be,
hopefully to save me retracing all my steps and undertaking hours of
frustrating trial-and-error stuff.
