HTTPS on Hyper-V an order of magnitude faster than HTTP?
-
I feel this may be the incorrect thread for this as I don't really have strong evidence this is related to Hyper-V but.. I'm seeing oddly differential performance on http vs https (https is faster by an order of magnitude to the same host?) I'm clearly missing something obvious but apparently I'm too blind to see it :)

This was actually due to a Netgear GS108Ev3 which has a firmware bug or similar causing bad QoS behavior – took me a pair of Ethernet couplers and some time to track down. I am not the only one http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=93251

Thanks for the follow up.
