Most likely name resolution issues. If you are running a stock ftp
server, it will be using tcpd to fire off ftpd. tcpd will attempt to do a
reverse name lookup. Apparently it is having a problem with the reverse
lookup and is waits for a timeout. Add a hosts entry for your Windows
machine and it should speed back up.
