If you drop sorbs.net, does this get better? From sorbs.net's website:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: SORBS has recently experienced issues which may have impacted you. We would like to reiterate that it is our ongoing goal to create the most reliable and secure system on the market. While this is our aim, our efforts in a complete rewrite of the system over the past year have not come along as fast as we had predicted. Over the past few weeks SORBS has experienced technical issues at a small number of datacenters and these issues have led to deterioration in the quality of service and responsiveness.

To address this issue, we have added two new datacenters and this will provide us with redundancy and failover systems in the event of further Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks. Furthermore, additional security measures have been implemented to minimize the risk of the SORBS service being compromised.

Remember that rmblsmtp looks up addresses in a serial method, so if one of those blacklists is taking a long time it will hold up the entire process.
If you remove some of the blacklists, does it get better?
You may try adding a -t option to your control file to specify a timeout. By default it uses 60 seconds. You also indicate that it only comes from one IP address - in the interim you could allow that IP to skip these checks in the tcp.smtp file, but you will still eventually want to fix the issue that is causing it in the first place.
