I tried some testing - here were my timings:
Checking for EDI-EWR *A award availability in May:
SNT: Awards/StarAlliance - initial search 1m50s; clicked 1 day forward - 1m24s
ITA: Awards/AC-StarAlliance - initial search 0m44s; clicked 1 day forward - 0m34s.
ANA website (timing from clicking the 'flight search' button once logged in) - initial search 0m10s; one day forward 0m18s
Any suggestions on how to improve matters would be much appreciated!
Do you have a proxy server enabled in MSIE Connection Settings by any chance? Any personal firewall/anti-virus software that could interfere?
By design, the
KVS Tool cannot possibly be slower (and is typically faster) than a regular web browser on the same machine.

SNT:Awards/StarAlliance(connections checked) - initial search 11s; clicked 1 day forward 12s
ITA:Awards/AC-StarAlliance - initial search 14s; clicked 1 day forwards 12s
Thanks for taking the time to put those together -- they certainly look much more typical!

, so something is definitely wrong on your end ...
