I think that is a DNS lookup issue.

No, the shell *you* use is determined by the line in /etc/passwd. What I
meant was the shell used to execute the initscripts.
What does:
# ls -al /bin/sh

If it comes back as pointing to /bin/bash then try pointing /bin/sh to
/bin/dash and see if there is any improvement.
