From the previous correspondance it's actually increasing in time over multiple signs. Which almost sounds like a /dev/random blocking until it has enough entropy to provide some bits?
Of course there are other things it could be as well, so I'm just putting theories at the moment :>.

I am not an openssl guru, but in most other cryptographic toolkits I have seen it should make a big difference between the first and subsequent signs if this is the case.
Does it happen to other signs after the first?
