Any time I see delays that are divisible by 30 seconds (30s, 1min,
etc), 
the very first thing I check is that the DNS is functioning properly.

After that, I'd just start combing the logs for likely errors. Run
"dmesg",
look at /var/log/messages, run "ifconfig". Look for SCSI/disc/network 
errors in particular.
