It could be a reverse lookup issue with DNS. You can disable that temporarily by changing the line in inetd.conf to 'telnetd -a -c'. This pinpointed the problem for me one time and I found there was a definite host-resolution issue.

We have two software applications running on the same AIX 4.3 box. Each is
accessed with a different emulator (don't ask why...): IceTCP and InVue.
Performance has been fine and identical through each until lately.
In recent weeks, it seems as though the delay for get a login prompt through
InVue has gotten increasingly sluggish (up to 5 minutes, I hear) while
IceTCP has no signficant delay. Once logged in, normal performance ensues.
My first thought was DNS resolution but, though I haven't checked
configuration (this is a remote site), if I remember correctly, it is set to
a 10.0.0.x address which has not changed. Also, I still wonder why it would
be _increasingly_ slower rather than just an abrupt change.
My next thought is that a file system is running low on space for temp files
but I checked that and see nothing.
Thoughts?
