I have noticed this behavior in the past, though intermittently. I have tested this morning through 2 different ISP's with results similar to the following:

Trace complete.

Yet the UT is taking 10-12 seconds to respond. Testing other sites, responses seem normal and quick. Is anyone else seeing this?
