Me too, although mine is running Linux.

In the case of the SS2 it's excusable - it really is a crappy old machine,
and the comparable x86 and 68k boxes I have suffer the same way.  I haven't
bothered with any serious testing (cos it's not a serious problem for me)
but my guess would be that the delay is whilst the SSL lib crunches numbers
to create the session keys.
