Request delay when accessing proxied server from Chrome

I am using Vue.js's API proxying functionality (which internally uses http-proxy-middleware/http-proxy) to forward API requests to my localbackend server. I set it in vue.conf.js like so:

vue.conf.js

module.exports =
devServer:
port: 8081,
proxy:
'/api':
target: 'http://localhost:8080',
xfwd: false






For some weird reason though, about every other proxied request coming from Chrome is slow:

When a slow request is profiled in Chrome, it looks like below:

Any idea what might be causing this delay between fetchStart and requestStart? When accessing the proxy through 127.0.0.1, the problem goes away for some reason (DNS issues???). Checked the backend, and it responds correctly as well. The problem doesn't exist on Firefox either.

fetchStart

requestStart

System is latest Win10, checked on stable and canary Chrome.
