There are 101 different objects assembled into that one page coming from
10 different domains.

Browsers set a very low limit on the amount of connections and objects
fetched in parallel when using a proxy as compared to going direct.
Large pages like this make the speed difference more noticeable.

That will account for some of the extra time. But should not be taking
that much longer. You will need to find out which objects are taking too
long (firebug or the webkit dev tools should help) and then figure out
why them.
