title: should redirect to www cause a one second delay?
body: <p>I am using Magento 1.6.2.0 on a shared host running Litespeed web server, and I have begun investigating ways to speed up page loads.  Currently I am using Pingdom to look at requests and it appears that I am losing an entire second from the get-go when I type my URL without the www.  The browser redirects to the www page, it's just that it takes so long.  Is this something I can fix?  I presume that I can change Magento's base-url to not include the www, but then I presume I'll have the same delay when going to the www url instead.</p>
