One extra thing I discovered that sped up local loopback's initial connection speed was to explicitly select the local loopback virtual adapter (select it from the adapter list) AND to go in and properly set it to 127.0.0.1. (thanks to a tip from Mark O'Donohue). It had been sitting there as 192.12.13.3, which I think was assigned to it by Windows as a result of having two NICs numbered 192.12.13.1 and 192.12.13.2 respectively.
As Mark pointed out, the loopback just loops around and around trying to get a unique gateway and eventually just times out and finally gets success by using the genuine localhost IP as an absolute last resort. Your objective should be for it to whack to the correct IP by the shortest possible route.
Take IPX/SX right out of your protocol list, too, if it's there.
