But on some apps, when trying to open a file on an open application after connecting, will stall for several minutes. There is no undue activity, in the way of CPU, or memory usage.

That seems to be a DNS/resolver problems. Please check your /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
If it's right, connect with pon and send your /etc/resolv.conf file to
the list.
