Here, obviously, is part of the problem. Your name service isn't 
answering reverse lookups for your LAN addresses -- or it least it 
isn't answering them in a timely manner. Fixing that, either through 
DNS or /etc/hosts, will help a bunch.

This delay puzzles me. Are you using LDAP as an authentication 
backend? If so, reverse-mapping failure may be the issue here, too.
