Sounds suspiciously like a DNS lookup. We actually make two network connections (one for the RPC channel and then one for streaming user output) so that would explain your delays.
What platform are you running on?
Red Hat 7.3 Linux on an Intel box and CMUCL 2004-06-29 snapshot. I cvs updated Slime on 2004-06-29. I first noticed this long delay in January this year.
Well, here are some random ideas:
If you replace all occurances of "localhost" with "127.0.0.1" in slime.el, do the delays disappear?
How about if you take down the network, e.g. 'ifdown eth0' or 'ifconfig eth0 down'
If you don't already have it, put a line in /etc/hosts like: 127.0.0.1 localhost
I don't know if I'm on the right track here.
