Greetings Martin:
We have rbldnsd running of a private IP with BIND/DNS forwarding calls to the various SURBL lists to that name server. We are approved to rsync the data from surbl; and that's been working well.
Our primary mail server is on a physical server running several network applications besides mail; we will be moving it to its own physical server in a few months; hopefully then we can match your under 2 second benchmark.
On a side note, we are a paid spamcop.net subscriber; and we do report all spam to spamcop (under 8 hour average reporting time); so we do what we can to prevent spam in the first place.
Thank you.

Are you running a caching name server locally on the machine? This helps alot in reducing the DNS traffic for RBLs and URI RBL's.
I normally process emails in under 2 seconds using couple of RBL's, pyzor and all of the subl.org URI lookups.
