Hmmm.  The most common cause of the delay is one of the DNS or ident lookups,
but that script disables them.  Did you change this script without restarting
the service, so that it's actually using different options than this shows?

Not here.  djb leaves the DNS lookups and ident lookups turned on for his
services.  If your DNS is bad, or your firewall is silently dropping ident
queries (rather than explicitly rejecting them), you'll see delays connecting
to his site.
