What happens if you hit the tivo webserver from within your intranet
directly? If that's slow too, then most likely it's a tivo webserver
problem. I wonder if your initial slowness is caused by issues
resolving dns entries? Are you specifying dns names in your proxy
config, or using raw IP addresses. If the former, try the latter.

There is good explanation (better than I could write!) of
proxypassreverse here:

Even if tivoweb doesn't use redirects, you will do no harm leaving it in.
