Could it be that there is some mechanism which is caching the response
(which is fine for GET requests as they are intended to be cached) on
the server?

Caching can be done in PHP (a lot of frameworks contain rudimentary
caching functionality) or by Apache itself, so there are a few places
you can check. To test for caching, have the client-side part of the
request add a random suffix like ?t=timestamp so that the server thinks
this request is unique. If each request comes back slow, it's likely
that the subsequent ones being faster is the result of caching.
