OK, in this case you might have a problem of reverse DNS. Depending on
how the JDBC driver is using the Java networking code it might happen
that Java tries to look up the host name for the IP.

In any case if there's different behavior when you run locally against
when you run from another host on the network, it is quite obviously
network related.

Try to use the host name instead of the IP and make sure the IP can be
resolved locally (on linux put it in /etc/hosts, on Windows in lmhosts I
guess, but I didn't touch a windows for quite long time).

HTH,
Csaba.

I can confirm that this is an issue in JDK 1.5 (a/k/a Java5) in
Windows.  This is not the fault of postgres, but like others have
suggested, it is with reverse DNS lookup.  It affects all TCP
connections.

If you connect to an IP address it attempts to look up the name,
resulting in these delays.  To confirm, add the ip address with
some name to the hosts file, normally in the
system32\drivers\etc directory under your main windows
directory.

Dear Csaba, Dear Kevin,

Thanks for suggestion. I'm using Windows only for development. The
solution is working fine for me.
