If the computer has a network card, try taking it out and see if the delay goes away. If it does, look for an updated driver for it, or use another brand or model of card.
Might be hanging on some service trying to start up? Any extra unusual hardware like tv card. Pull all the cards out you dont need and see what happens.
Best place to start would be to check your event logs for errors.
