This is good.

Doubt that it is actually that long, but the reason for the lag is that
route by default tries to resolve IP's to names. For diagnostic purposes
IP's are better. Try "route -n", this will tell route just to give you the
numbers.

What have you done to enable it, what distribution are you running, and most
importantly what kernel are you running. If you are using a 2.4 series
kernel take a look at http://www.asgardsrealm.net/linux/firewall, I've put
up the iptables based firewall script that I've been working on. It still
has a few minor items I need to iron out, but you may find it of use to get
you started. Additionally, I should have most of the items ironed out by
the weekend (work takes priority unfortunately).
