Comparing the performace of libwww and java servlet

Hi,
    I am comparing the performance of libwww and jave servlet.  I have
modified the showxml.c to send  a request to my server and get 
some message back.  I am surprised that libwww takes about 2 seconds to send
data out  to my server while java servlet only takes 0.5 second.  Did anyone
do the comparison before?
