Is this an internal/external modem or a router connection to the
outside?

How many machines are on this setup and use it at the same time?

Was there anyone sharing the bandwidth WHILE natd was configured
and running? If so, try running NAT with noone else on sharing
bandwidth and see if you get the same delays. Could it be
possibly that when you rebooted, after the kernel rebuild, no
other machines were able to use the same bandwidth because nat was
turned off? Those delays could be normal if the other machines
were surfing or using the majority of your bandwidth. Try turning
natd on unplugging the 'inside' interface from the network and
then run your tests.
How 'far' away is the machine you are telneting to? 1,2,3 hops?
Ping the host and see what times you are getting, both with NAT
turned on and without.
I run this setup with ISDN at home and never see delays on either
diverted range (192.168.0.0/24) or my routeable subnet. Of
course, I am running stable though.
