There is a 2s delay during connection, and ConnectTimeout is set to 1.
Raising it makes the issue go away, but we can do better. The server
truss shows:

     888: 27.811414714 socket(PF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC,0) = 5 (0x5)
     888: 27.811765030 connect(5,{ AF_INET 10.0.2.3:53 },16) = 0 (0x0)
     888: 27.812166941 
sendto(5,"\^Z/\^A\0\0\^A\0\0\0\0\0\0\^A2"...,39,0,NULL,0) = 39 (0x27)
     888: 29.363970743 poll({ 5/POLLRDNORM },1,5000) = 1 (0x1)

So the delay is due to a DNS query. Disable DNS queries in the server
config.
