This smells of name resolution delays somewhere. Do you have a shell prompt that gets some host name or user name from name services? Is your /home directory owned by a non-existing user or group? Do you accidentally have something enabled in /etc/nsswitch.conf that does not exist (ldap, nis, nis+)? Maybe the first miss gets cached and all other misses get resolved from the cache? Or your nscd is disabled/confused/broken disabled altogether? You have an interesting problem there...
