[avahi] is avahi running "slow"?

[Adam Michalak]

I have 3 machines on my network

192.168.101.2	mini.local			Mac OS X 10.4.6 Server
192.168.101.21	necam.local			Mac OS X 10.4.6
192.168.101.1	peachgrove.local		FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE

 From my macintosh's terminal application, I can launch a mini  
zeroconf/bnojour service browser.

Here's a screencap:

This browser begins the process of broadcasting looking for services  
such as ssh

the two macintoshes answer quite quickly.
Avahi running on FreeBSD (peachgrove.local) however seems to take a  
very long time before it pops up in the list like so:

I ran ethereal to see what was going on behind the scenes.
Here's a screencap from ethereal:

Do you see how quickly the Bonjour services responded on the  
macintoshes vs the time avahi on FreeBSD gave a response?

Do I have something configured incorrectly?

Any thoughts?

thanks,
