Are you sure it is not a DNS issue somewhere? I have found that many services will try to do a reverse lookup on the connecting IP to see where it is comming from and if there is a DNS problem or that IP dosen't have a reverse, it can take a while timing out waiting for the DNS servers to respond.

Hi all, I am not sure if it is something I have done to my firewall, but ever since I upgraded to 3.3RC, the decision-of weather to allow services (from the firewall) like, ftp, telnet or pop3 appears to be very slow!!! (10 or more seconds for telnet or pop3) Once the connection is made traffic speeds appear normal. Has anyone else experienced any problems with ipfilter (ipfw)?
