Check that the machine can resolve DNS. I've seen quite big delays in logging in and especially when using sudo when a machine has unreachable/unresponsive DNS servers.
Yes that will cause problems, Also look at the pam.d configuration.
Specifically which modules are optional and which are required in the login config file.
Were you using anything funky for samba authentication and some automated way of setting it up (i.e using swat) to set up something like winbind to authenticate samba against a Windows Domain ? As that can and will mess with pam authentication. Is it possible that you enabled this configuration by mistake ?
Also is SELinux installed as ISTR that can hook into pam and a problem there could be causing a delay.
