title: Google doc JSON request response time?
body: <p>I have a google docs spreadsheet set to publish as RSS -> json, and I'm using the code below to retrieve it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void getDocData()
  {
      String url = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/blah blah blah/basic?alt=json";
      using (var w = new WebClient())
      {
          //here's where the problem is
          String json_data = w.DownloadString(url);
  
          //blah blah parse json_data;
       }
   }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My problem is that the DownloadString is taking an inordinately long amount of time (10-15 seconds), and I have absolutely no idea why.  The weird thing is I have a node/javascript app that uses the exact same link and an http.get request and doesn't have the same problem.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone have any ideas?</p>
