Traefik: Traefik seems slow

Created on 4 Jul 2017 · 3Comments · Source: traefik/traefik

Hey,

I am not sure but every request to traefik seems very slow to me. I tried different configurations but around 3-5 seconds are needed until the nginx answers to the request (no matter of using HTTP or HTTPS):

> time curl -v http://cik8s-master:32341
* Rebuilt URL to: http://cik8s-master:32341/
*   Trying 10.8.96.101...
* TCP_NODELAY set

I also tried it under different servers / networks, the requests / response takes always around 5 seconds. :(
