New Homenet Image Server Performance

Has anyone else that processes homenet images locally for websites noticed that their new server (https://content.homenetiol.com) performance is WAY less than their old http://webiol.homenetiol.com.

This week/weekend while trying to track down some performance issues, I discovered that it was taking 4-5 seconds to fetch an 40k image from their new servers, that on their old server would take about 1 second.

We process thousands of images every day, so these 4-5 seconds x 15-20 avg photos per car each day can minutes into hours of processing rather quickly.

I am also a bit dismayed over their choice of using HTTPS instead of HTTP, given the extra communication/packets for SSL communication, again even if its taking an extra second of time, those seconds turn into big numbers when your talking about 10,000 images a day.

Has anyone else noticed this or run into this yet?

Just an update. After reporting the issue and letting homenet investigate, they were able to track down some setting on their new server that was causing the issue.
