Ping delays

With YDL 2.0 on a TiBook, I find that the delay in reporting the
first packets is enormous. (Using /bin/ping -v). When pinging
machines on the local network, nothing happens for a long time, and I
thought that ping wasn't even working at first. Eventually, after 30
sec or so, I start seeing the ping results. Early delay times (time
= x.xx) are in the seconds range. Later it settles down, and the
numbers drop into the microseconds, as expected. Has anyone else see
this?

(Behavior on Mac OS X is perfectly normal.)
