I have retested with the current git source code and I can't reproduce the same pattern of calls, though I do still see quite a few calls to get the host name, which I think is caused by the liberal use of isMasterBackendConnected throughout the code. Adding these extra calls slows things down a lot when your away from home accessing over 3G so really should be avoided where possible surely ?

You have a good eye. GetHostName is called before other end points to see if the backend is running. It's a form of fault detection.

The response is the shortest available. Not counting the HTTP header, the XML returned is just the hostname and provides the final check of the network connection to the backend. Earlier releases just attempted to connect to port 6544 and, if memory serves, got a 3000 byte response.

The latency of the extra round trip to the server is the issue more than the size of the payload returned
