Everybody is discussing whether Apple is cheating and whether is it worth it, compared to the speed of connection of the Galaxy (0.03s vs 11s).

Note that the Galaxy takes more than 10s to connect because is trying to be clever. If it started just doing the DHCP negotiation it will get an IP in 0.7s.

Are the problems Apple devices create really worth saving 0.7 - 0.03s?

BTW, 0.7s is an awful long time to get an IP. Anybody knows why a router takes so long to answer?
