Third time lucky... So part of the problem was with internet connectivity. When the machine was connected to the internet, things worked fine. When the internet went down (as it did yesterday) the slow delay happened. The internet is back now, but the other thing I tried changing was adding a reverse zone to bind for the local server (i.e. 192.168.0.10). I'm still uncertain if this this the exact problem, but have my fingers crossed.
