I don't know if this is relevant to you - but I had exactly the same experience when upgrading to MySQL v4.1. It turned out that MySQL was trying to do reverse DNS lookups before authenticating the connecting hosts - and was failing slowly on each because the database machine didn't have external net access.
Adding all the local machines to /etc/hosts solved the problem immediately. Chris Allen.
