Do you have the domain entered correctly in your /etc/hosts file?

During your performance tests whilst using the FQDN did you notice any  
weird DNS/Reverse lookups for your domain name?

That definately sounds fishy, but not improbable.

Let me make sure I understand, if you configure Apache (e.g.) with the  
domain name it is much slower than configuring Apache with the  
localhost name?
