I don't think so - previously both the server and client were using
'localhost', so should have defaulted to either 127.0.0.1 or ::1
depending on the system config.
Now, both are using '127.0.0.1', which is what gained the 10 seconds I
mentioned above. Of course, the downside of this is that it requires
IPv4 on the users machine, but practically speaking I don't think
that's likely to be an issue - is anyone really running IPv6 only?
