You don't need the gateway stuff, it is not on the line you want to 
delete.  Without the gateway part it should work.

Latencies are very often DNS problems of some sort.  Check the 
/etc/resolv.conf nameservers, and do a dig on them by hand from the box 
in question

dig google.com @ my.first.nameserver.ip

and see what the latencies are like.  If the latencies are good, try a

tcpdump -i eth1 port 53 -s0 -X

and try to cause the delay, maybe you can get a clue.
