Hi Duro,

Before we try to adjust the configurations we should verify that the symptoms fit. When you look at your timeline in the client browser does it appear that there are clumps or groups of things being received? Is there a consistent number of items that come in each group? Is the wait till the next group consistent? Could you post a screen shot of the timeline and confirm that it is representative?

I believe this was an attempt to avoid a denial-of-service attack. When I changed Apache to allow 30 items per second then my site loaded much faster.
