I have the same southbridge and a very fast system. That can't be the problem - and it really does sound like a network problem. It looks like it's looking for a host that it can't find. Possibly your own hostname. I've seen a problem somewhat like that one if portmap/rpcbind is not

I believe it's harmless, and while not aesthetically pleasing, it's a necessary work-around. The stop command to rc.d/ipfilter uses -D to disable ipfilter, so it's necessary to use -E with the start command because there's no way to know how/when/why/in-what-environment it's being called. If
