Try instrumenting the actual calls to the lowest-level socket methods (recv() and send()) and log for each one the arguments, return time, and how long it took.
Can I do that in python code?
You might see a pattern. Is this on Windows?
Well, yes, but I'm not 100%. The problematic machine is a Windows box, but there are no non-windows boxes on that network and vpn'ing from one of my non-windows boxes slows things down enough that I'm not confident what I'd be seeing was indicative of the same problem...
It's embarrassing, we've had problems with socket speed on Windows since 1999 and they're still not gone... :-(
