Initial request to server extremely slow after longer periods of inactivity

[pathiaki2 at yahoo.com]

Could this be a simple name resolution timeout issue?

Check your /etc/resolv.conf file and comment out the first server and 
see if using the second server gets faster response.

A simpler check would be to put the host that is connecting to the 
machine IPs address in the /etc/hosts and turn off DNS resolution in 
/etc/nsswitch.conf.
