I don't agree with you. Look at the names of those timers you've read. Look
at the timer you got just before the REDIRECT time: STARTTRANSFER_TIME. At
what point do you think that time stamp is set? I'd say that is before any
transfer.

The REDIRECT_TIME is set after having read enough amount of data (all
headers). I can't but to believe that reading the headers takes about 1
second in your test cases.

The timers can never add time to other timers, they're all just time stamps
recorded at various stages in the process.

How much wrong? How do you time this to tell?

Sure, it's never wrong to mail us about suspected problems.

It was fixed. Just go try an older version and you'll get a very different
time.

I never ever guarantee anyone that there are no bugs remaining. There may
very well be a bug lurking in this area still. With your help we might be
able to track it down and fix this.
