title: Need improving performance of HttpClient of Android
body: <p><strong>Hi All,</strong></p>
  
  <p>My application is required to find the time elapsed for downloading a small sized file by using HttpClient (HTTP GET) on Android.</p>
  
  <p>I captured the nanoTime before and after the HttpClient.execute in order to find out the elapsed time. At the same time, I collected the TCP dump to find out the elapsed time between HTTP GET and response 200.</p>
  
  <p>i found that there is the difference of nanoTime is 30% to 50% higher than the elapsed time from TCP dump. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any suggestion to minimize such difference ? Using Httpurlconnection ?</p>
  
  <p>Best regards,</p>
