A distribution of compile times like that -- clustered around integer multiples of 120s -- is not natural. It's shouting "timeout" to me, with the most likely thing to be timing out being name service lookups. Check the master's name server configuration. My guess would be that one of its 2-3 configured domain name servers is offline or malfunctioning.
You could test that hypothesis indirectly by performing a bunch of manual name service lookups, and seeing whether any of them suffer similar delays. On the master, look up an affected client's name via 'nslookup' or 'dig' (or whatever client is appropriate if you're relying on a name service different from DNS). You could test it indirectly by entering the name and address of one of the problematic clients in the master's 'hosts' file (and ensuring that it is checked first, see 'nsswitch.conf'). If that fixes the issue for that client, but others remain affected then you'll have pretty well tied it down to a name service issue.
