Change your startup line to be:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -l<hostname> \
-uXXX -gXXX 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
biznizweb.com \
/mail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
where <hostname> is the full name of the machine.
What you are seeing are tcpserver connection startup delays
as it attempts to do reverse IP lookups and ident queries.
