It shouldn't. If nothing is listening on this port, the initial SYN packet should get a TCP RST as a response, and the client's connect() call should then return ECONNREFUSED. If inetd is listening, then the client will have to wait for the initial three-way handshake, the data to be transferred, and part of the connection teardown. The only time things should be slow is if you block access to this port so that there is no response to the client's SYN, so that the client retries a few times and finally has to time out.
