I suspect in both of these cases the extra delays are caused by DNS
lookups. I would have to check the code, but it seems likely that even
when you specify a raw ip address, it attempts to do a DNS look-up
first, and then tries it directly. On subsequent calls, the result of
the lookup is probably cached at your router.
