The other thing sendmail does is an ident/auth check  , windows doesn't 
know what this is and doesn't respond so you have to wait for it to
timeout....

in sendmail.cf there's a setting for this....

#O Timeout.ident=30s

You could try setting it to something like 2 seconds....
ie:

O Timeout.ident=2s

it's actully annoying that sendmail is doing this check since it doesn't
really care much if it fails, it just notes it in the headers....
