Essentially you are measuring the speed of JIT compiler, DNS hostname
lookup, and that of the link to your ISP. I suspect this measurement
does reflect the performance of the underlying HTTP engines at all. 

Please consider running your tests against an HTTP server on the local
network, making a significant number of repetitions to eliminate data
distortions due to JVM startup, JIT compilation and other factors

You might want to use this benchmarking tool to test performance of
HttpClient [1]. The HttpClient benchmark tool supports a subset of
commands of the Apache Benchmark (ab) and produces similar output.

Hope this helps
