You can use tcpdump, wireshark, etc. to see the exact timing and
content of network requests and responses.

- How many connections are happening at the same time? There
will be a delay when all Postfix SMTP server processes are busy.

- When does the TCP connection to Postfix complete?

- When is the DNS PTR query sent with the reversed client IP address?

- When does the DNS PTR reply arrive?

- When is the DNS A query sent with the clients name ?

- When does the DNS A reply arrive?

- When does Postfix send the 220 greeting?

- and so on.

Or you can disable the Linux name service crap and then point
/etc/resolv.conf to a public DNS server at 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
