Ok, I took a closer look and the information provided by me, was not
correct.

There is a difference between DNS and DNS::NBL.

We are talking about DNS-lookups, I described DNS::NBL-lookups.

DNS-lookups uses DNS-banlists, which are checked with every tested mail
and this takes some time.  I think this is, what takes so long on some
systems.
