Are you running a local dns caching server?
Do manual queries to rbls take a long time? (Hint: Don't run the query
again, as it may be cached up stream and may give a fast result.)

You didn't attach your conf, but you may also want to set
dns_available yes
in your local.cf to save the dns check.

Thanks,
James
