It is only to hackage.

Also, this is a home ISP, and no proxy.

30 seconds is the time between:
1. I get a TCP ACK from hackage for my HTTP GET, and
2. I get the first packet with HTTP response from hackage.

So, I am under a strong impression that this delay happens at hackage.

The reason I thought this is a reverse DNS issue is that the servers
which should provide reverse DNS for my ISP are (permanently) down, and
an attempt to perform a reverse lookup results in a timeout
(try "dig +trace -x 80.90.233.237").
