ok. i was buffering both request and response in both proxies, because
in my project i need to change them.

but i did as you said, tried with an empty interceptor on both sides
that just streams the request/response and i still get the slow
speeds. what i noticed was the server interceptor sped up x2 when
streaming compared to buffering, but the client interceptor still
gives the same times (which are humanly noticeable).

so this is indeed not normal... ideas?
