Yes, you nailed it with this one. It explains why the server was idle: because it will only send out so many requests and then wait for the responses. I set "$AllowSpamFilters = false;" in the filers config and the problem went away: logins now take about 2 seconds. Also, to answer why subsequent logins were fast, there is another global in the filters config: "$SpamFilters_CacheTTL = 7200;". When I changed this to "60" subsequent logins were just as slow as the first. So it all makes sense. And finally, since this resolution was so specific I am able to leave the filters plugin enabled for the users who actually have filters - with this fix we just disable the portion not being used.
