After some testing, I think this is a wpa_supplicant problem. If I configure /etc/network/interfaces and use "ifup" then the time from typing that command to actually having an IP address is around 15 seconds. If I use NetworkManager then the time is over 1 minute. It looks as though wpa_supplicant is doing some odd things, and it takes over 50 seconds to associate. I will attach a log of the very slow (>1 minute) network connection, and another fast (15 seconds or so) connection using "ifup" for comparison. Note that in testing this I used a global WEP password in NetworkManager, which didn't work until I used the patch in bug #288963.
