does working with URL's slow down the engine?

Has anyone noticed a slowdown in message passing after a get/put URL 
command has been issued?  If so, does anyone know how to resolve the 
slowdown?

I've got a "buildtree" handler that uses message passing to build a 
directory tree.  I've noticed through testing that it can parse a 20 Gig 
hard drive in under a second, as long as no get/put URL commands have 
been issued.  If any have been issued, the "buildtree" handler takes 
forever (like 1 or 2 minutes).

I have an example if anyone can confirm this for me (or tell me what's 
wrong)...

This is happening on Revolution Studio 2.7.4 on Windows XP Home Edition 
(Service Pack 2).
