Route pausing during display is simply because it tries to query your NS for any entry on the table, to display it to you in a human readable manner; If DNS is unreachable, or does not respond (for example when queried re. your internal network IP which it is not supposed to serve), the resolver will just wait for the timeout, and only then display the route line unresolved; For an 'always quick' route, try route -n...
