I had this problem for a while. Make sure both machines have each other in
their /etc/hosts files. If I remember right it was the client that needed a
ref to the server, but I could be wrong.
As for FTP, I'm not sure. I think mine got faster when I added the entry to
/etc/hosts, but if you've told it not to do reverse dns lookups then I'm
not sure what the problem is. It's worth a try, just in case it's not
paying attention!
