Httpclient Slow Performance same computer Android Emulator Xamarin - xamarin

Question

I am using the HttpClient but my results are taking up to 6 seconds coming back from the same machine on the same subnet and ip range of 192.168. When I call the api directly from the ip address the results are more or less instant so why is it so slow with httpclient on the same computer.
I have seen other so's that suggest set to use proxy as false is the best way to go.
I have also tested this on a stock phone and it takes around 8 seconds for the login to be successful on the phone.
private HttpClient _client;
public async Task<String> Getusers()
{
var content = "";
HttpClientHandler hch = new HttpClientHandler();
hch.Proxy = null;
hch.UseProxy = false;
_client = new HttpClient(hch);
var uri = new Uri(Constants.ApiEndPoint + "/Users"); // Your url is here
try
{
var response = await _client.GetAsync(uri);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
return content;
}
Here is my login method in case anyone can see something wrong with it.
private async void BtnLogin_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string content = await Getusers(); //Sends a GET request to the specified Uri and returns the response body as a string in an asynchronous operation
List<Users> _users = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Users>>(content); //Deserializes or converts JSON String into a collection of Post
var userName = txtUserName.Text;
var password = txtPassword.Text;
var isValidUser = _users.Where(w => w.UserName == userName && w.password == password).FirstOrDefault();
var driverId = _users.Where(w => w.UserName == userName && w.password == password).FirstOrDefault().ID;
if (isValidUser != null)
{
Application.Current.Properties["driverId"] = driverId;
Application.Current.MainPage = new MainPage();
}
else
{
lblError.Text = "Error your credentials are invalid, please try again";
}
}
