No Ross, This is the irony; i am working on the same machine. There is no network in between
Install strace, then run sudo via strace and look which syscall is causing the hangs. As always the manpage is your friend.
As a sidenote: I don't know if you're aware of it but allowing vi/vim via sudo gives you full access as the user (in your case root). This is true for all programms with the possibility to break out into a shell. You may want to read sudo(8) and sudoers(5) and watch out for noexec.
