Does time of page generation depend on connection speed?

Hello,
I try access the same page of CMSMS from two different places (computers) at almost the same time. The averages of page generation time shown in a page source differ :
1. It is about 0.2 sec for the page accessed from one computer with high speed internet conection
2. It is about 2 sec for the page accessed from another computer with low speed internet conection
Does the time of CMSMS page generation depend on internet connection speed? As I know the time of php code processing must not depend on connection speed.
I use CMSMS version 1.4.1

It was surprise for me. I see my knowledge about http protocol is very limited.

There are alot of issues at play here, not just connection speed.
a) the type of server, and configuration of your host
b) the load of the server
c) the content of the pages
d) wether some sort of cache had to be regenerated on the first request or not.
e) the phase of the moon....
in order to really compare load times from two different connections you really need to have all of the variables accounted for.

calguy1000, you are probably more experienced in this field, but I thing that no one case you mentioned is (was, as I changed my internet provider) related to my case, except maybe case "e"
I just was confused about the page generation time is dependent on connection speed. I thought that a server gets a request then it generates a requested page and then sends the content to the requester. The page generation time does not have to depend on connection speed in this case. However, the process is obviously more complex. So this issue is related to not only CMSMS but also is more broader, isn't it?

e) the phase of the moon....
fantastic
I experience more than one sites on CMSMS, in my opinion:
one of mine working very fast with (previous) static html pages, but slow with CMSMS.
Anyway, on another server, CMS works perfect.
This is the way because I think that the second computer,
where Apache & PHP is on, has better CPU performance
Another situation: when it works fine for me, not the same for one
of my user-editors, that's living and connecting from another city
That's all
