Finally circling back to this issue. I've disabled debugging in DrRacket and also done a test outside of DrRacket. It's still slow. :(
I also tried the newer HTTP client: https://docs.racket-lang.org/http-easy/index.html. Like the others, it is also slow. I'll do some more digging. I'm currently trying to figure out if this is a "just me" / "just my system" problem. So... I'd be grateful if anyone who has written code that sends HTTP requests from Racket could chime in with: 1) I can confirm that sending HTTP requests from Racket has always been fast for me, or 2) I too have noticed Racket HTTP requests are slow. (Note that by "slow", I mean: takes noticeably longer than curl.)
