Hi Ben,

I believe your HttpClient numbers are being inflated by one-time 
initialization costs.  I was able to get approximately the same numbers 
with HttpClient and Socket.  Please see my examples attached below:

Mike


HttpClient code:

         HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
         GetMethod get = new GetMethod("http://www.google.com");

         client.executeMethod(get);
         get.getResponseBodyAsString();
         get.releaseConnection();

         client = new HttpClient();
         get = new GetMethod("SOME_URL");

         long start = System.currentTimeMillis();

         int statusCode = client.executeMethod(get);
         int size = 0;

         InputStream in = get.getResponseBodyAsStream();
         byte [] data = new byte[4096];
         int read = 0;

         while ((read = in.read(data)) > 0) {
             size += read;
         }

         in.close();
         get.releaseConnection();

         long end = System.currentTimeMillis();

         System.out.println(end-start);


Socket code:

         HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
         GetMethod get = new GetMethod("http://www.google.com");

         client.executeMethod(get);
         get.getResponseBodyAsString();
         get.releaseConnection();

         long start = System.currentTimeMillis();

         Socket soc = new Socket("HOST", 80);
         InputStream in = soc.getInputStream();
         OutputStream out = soc.getOutputStream();

         String command = "GET /SOME_FILE\n\n";
         byte [] send = command.getBytes();

         out.write(send);
         byte b[] = new byte[4096];
         int size = 0;
         int count = 0;
         while( (size = in.read(b)) >= 0) {
             count += size;
         }
         in.close();
         out.close();

         soc.close();

         long end = System.currentTimeMillis();

         System.out.println(end-start);
