If it doesn't seem to be DNS you could try one of the following to
find out what is going on:

1) While running the program use "top" in another window and see how
	much CPU time is being used and what it says in the "STATE"
	field for the processes that seem to take ages to start.

2) Run the program using ktrace by saying "ktrace program". Quit out
	of the program once it's done its going slow bit and use
	"kdump -R" or "kdump -T" to look for long delays.
