Your tcpserver invocation is probably trying to get IDENT info,
which is the default. This times out after 26 seconds or so. Put '-R' into
your tcpserver command line and the lag goes away, or open up port 113 on
the firewall to allow IDENT traffic to freely flow.
>From http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html:
-r: (Default.) Attempt to obtain $TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host.
-R: Do not attempt to obtain $TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host. To avoid
loops, you must use this option for servers on TCP ports 53 and 113.
