[Resolved] Hi all. Is there anyone who could share some insight on why the response time of `/session/whoami` on a local instance of Kratos can vary widely? Using curl or postman the response time changes wildly on each request between 6-100ms. On the Kratos logs it believes it handled the request in 2-3ms.

Ok so this thread is going to turn into Q&amp;A answer my own question style lol. It is nginx causing the delay. Not a Kratos issue.

Haha glad you were able to answer it yourself.
But yea, most likely that has to do with your network, ingress, api gateway, proxy setup
