The device in front of the SonicWall is a Cisco Router.
Ping times to the ethernet interface of the router are good (~10ms).
Also, having a user behind the SonicWall ping the PBX results in an
average 20-30ms ping time.
So it seems as though the lag is specific to SIP signaling
(specifically the OPTIONS requests that asterisk qualify sends out).

Unfortunately I can't really ask the client to dump their SonicWall
(which we do not manage).
On the SonicWall, I know it is configured for "Consistent NAT" and
"SIP Transformations" are disabled.
