foobar is slow on http stream change

As the topic says, foobar is acting slow and sometimes hangs when i change the http stream by clicking "next" or selecting another http stream.

I use version 1.1.13 and foobar did not behave like this in previous versions.
foobar behaves like this with an clean portable installation without any 3rd party add-on's.

I don't think it can be my internet connection, as I have a fast connection

I anyone able to reproduce this behavior? If not, I must investigate the problem

Here is a list over the http streams I listen to:

Not sure if it is about the same problem, but i had some similar http problems here: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=95473
But for me it was file not found, which may be because of some timeout settings or smth similar.
As the OP, had no problems prior 13th version(maybe i updated from about 1.10, not 1.12), and still no problems in other players.

I just installed an older version of foobar v1.1.2 (portable) and the issue is gone, changing http streams are instant when I click "next" or double click another http stream in the playlist.
I also installed winamp 5.623 just to check and changing http streams are instant there too.

And according to foobar's online troubleshooter, I don't have any problematic components.

I don't know if it matters, but I am using windows 7 x64 SP1 and all recent updates, 4GB RAM, Intel e6600 core2duo @ stock

1.1.13 takes about 2 seconds to switch between those streams here, and I presume that has something to do with buffering.
