You probably want to use the loopback interface for local comms, not the 
wireless. Considering adding your own machine name to your /etc/hosts so 
that all local connections map to 127.0.0.1 . That will take a huge amount 
of latency out of the loop.

For example, from /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 haynes haynes.whatever.com localhost.localdomain localhost
