Your nameserver does not handle IPv6 queries correctly (as Norbert and Alan have already surmised in their recent messages in this thread). Debian waits for the IPv6 request to time out before it sends an IPv4 request, causing the delays you are experiencing. I would try this (elaborating

xset s off does not seem to have worked either. What do you use as your screensaver? If it's nothing, the above should work (and does for me on Lenny). If it's xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver or other, they already do what xset s off would achieve and control blanking the screen themselves.
