Perhaps the problem is related to authentication - what auth mode
are you using, and can you experiment with some other ones?

What I'd do to start debugging this is to get out a packet sniffer
(wireshark or some such) and just observe the timings of packets sent
and received by Postgres.  This would at least give you a hint which
step is the bottleneck.

What about "psql -h localhost", ie physically local connection but
via TCP not unix socket?
