Just a thought:

- what does 'hostname' show?

- do you have an entry in /etc/hosts which maps this name to your correct
  IP address?

I've seen long delays in X startup if the system hostname can't be resolved
to an IP address (which can be very annoying in dynamic IP environments, or
where DHCP changes the hostname). But this experience is with non-OpenBSD
boxes; I only use command line on OpenBSD.

Also:

- is your DNS working properly? (e.g. "nslookup www.openbsd.org" gives you
  a positive answer in a reasonably short period of time, and
  "nslookup xyz" gives you an NXDOMAIN answer also in a reasonably short
  period of time)

Regards,

Brian.
