Like any typical developer, my response is "that shouldn't be happening".

If it is happening, that would be most interesting - but we'd need to test to be sure.

Speculation was that it might have been anti-bot countermeasures.

I've ... encountered those a few times recently doing my HN front-page research. Though not presenting as latency.

That would imply a slowness on the server and not with general internet peering
