Reddit servers seem to throw a fit if you don't specify both a UserAgent and an AcceptLanguage in the requests. For me, this results in very long responses that took 5-10 seconds for a request.

Using Fiddler, I was able to determine that the timeout was taking place between ServerGotRequest and ServerBeginResponse, so that's when I tried modifying the header until I pinpointed what was causing the long delays.

If others are having similar delays as me, this change makes a world of difference.
