That is 15 seconds to start - looks like anti-virus to me.  Often
disabling anti-virus still causes it to run - preferably uninstall it.

That is very wrong - that connect should be instant with don't resolve
client names enabled.  I suppose it could be antivirus interfering with
the load of sspi.dll, or a major network fault.

12 of those 13 seconds are waiting for it to load - very very very wrong
- CVSNT isn't even executing - look at the device or anti-virus
software.
