Not sure if it's what you're seeing, but you might have an issue with
reverse DNS. When the client connects, the server tries to look up its
PTR record for its log. You can speed this up by either having such a
record, or having an authoritative DNS server that returns an
immediate failure; either option is fairly easy if you run BIND, but
you might be able to do it with your hosts file (/etc/hosts or
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) instead - just put in an entry
for your client computer and some hostname.

Hope that helps!
