Hi. This ping time seems quite long and could indicate that your connection may be doing a few hops before the packets get to the server. I'd say Amitosh is probably on track with the packet loss. I've seen similar issues with TCP related client/server where optimising the network layer reduced the CPU loading because in the background the stack is just constantly waiting for data and the timeouts are long - the thread just sits waiting. Various workarounds include a separate timer that just drops connections that haven't responded thus reducing the CPU load. Other issue might be the firewall on the server taking a long time to process requests and pass them on. Does it improve if you whitelist your IP for a session? If the ICMP response is a little slow then the actual data I/O may be longer still.
