Good question it is even slow just enough of a response from it to 
validate a cache. With the Cache-Control header set to max-age=0 this 
slows down things a lot. Is there an efficient way to keep a full mirror 
synced? Just fetching all packages again and again to get a full mirror 
puts a lot of otherwise avoidable load on the poor package servers. Is 
there any help needed to adress the problem?
