Inetd will go to sleep for 10 minutes if there are more than 40
connections per minute for a given protocol.
This is to prevent DOS attacks.

In your /etc/inetd.conf, edit the pop3 line to read:

pop-3   stream  tcp     nowait.400  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd      ipop3d
                              ^^^^
which will extend the limit to 400 connections per minute.
