I installed PTS on one of my lab machines and was able to replicate the slowness you observed. CPU utilization was very low during the test, indicating a bottleneck or contention somewhere. Current evidence points to excessive time spent waiting in connect(2) calls. I'll keep you updated when I learn more.
