Websocket connection setup takes a relatively long time - is this normal?

[kaustubhpa]

I am using websocketd Version 0.2.12

I have setup command line arguments as below -
--port=8443 --ssl --sslcert="abc.com.cer" --sslkey="abc.com.key" --devconsole C:\xxx\websocketd\socketagent.exe

Host file is as below
127.0.0.1 abc.com

When I browse URL as https://abc:8443; it works. However it takes 30-35 seconds to get a reply. Below are logs

I am not sure why it takes 30-35 seconds to respond
