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.
