For password protected sites I believe apache does a reverse lookup.
And that will fail because DNS is disabled and will take aprox 30 secs.

Enable it and make sure you have a valid DNS ip address in your 
/etc/resolv.conf
DNS is needed for a lot of services btw. They rely on it.
Ftp is a good example. If you ftp into the server does it take a long time 
to login?
