Ah, thanks guys. I used "track resources" in Chrome and the latency is only
100ms. Using --no-check-certificate did speed up wget but put it at .379.

Hmm... actually, now that I think about it, the use case for this site is as
a web service. Testing in Chrome isn't really that important. I did test
with curl and got similar results to wget --no-check-certificate.

I can live with it, but am happy to hear any other tips. Because it's a web
service I don't know if caching will help much.
