I had a problem with latency once and it was due to name resolution, and the 
particular order I had DNS' in my system.

With the host that you are having the lag with, setup a /etc/hosts entry for that 
machine and try it again.  If it take the same about of time, then not resolution.  
If it is quick then you know you have a problem with resolution.
