Is DNS accessible on both nic cablings?
Could be the resolver is trying the nic/cable setup that does not reach

The delay in route response is probably DNS lookup time (failing and retrying)
See if there is a difference in: "route " and "route -n"

What name services in /etc/resolv.conf?
What are the service providers for 'hosts:' in /etc/nsswitch.conf
