You still haven't answered the question I asked (apologies if you did
and I missed it, or if I asked someone else with the same problem).

Does this slowness happen when launching iSQL and running the first query?

We could also be on the wrong track, and you may have a DNS issue on
your network, making it take forever to find the host. Add a record to
your hosts file to make sure this is not the case.
