Are you using tcpserver to run vchkpw? There are some tcpserver arguments
(-R -H, I think) that disable DNS lookups and TCPREMOTEINFO lookups ...
More info on tcpserver is at:
http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html
Except for heavy loads, long delays like you described are often DNS
related.
This question should be on the the vchkpw list, not qmailadmin.
