Try turning off IPV6 (and please let us know if it made a
difference).

Apparently, if the network you're on has a misconfigured router or
DNS server that claims to support IPV6 but doesn't really do so,
then you'll constantly be waiting for timeouts to occur before
failing back over to IPV4.

I turned it off in my NetBSD system years ago because of this sort
of thing.
