How long should it take to log in anonymously?
Not long. I suppose there are other possibilities but unless you have a *really* slow (or overburdened) machine, latencies in networked services seem to come from elements timing out. For example, if DNS is mis-configured or otherwise not working. This (DNS) is simple to check: ftp to the IP address and see if you have a similar lag; if not, it's probably your culprit. Also check the logs of the ftp server for any messages (I would try to access it, then immediately do an 'ls -trl /var/log' and look at the end of the recently updated files with 'tail -30 <filename>').
