Just an update with the answer in case this thread is indexed by
google and someone else is looking to speed up the ftp connection times. 
Solution:
Just goto /etc/resolv.conf and comment out the line in the file (#). 
# nameserver 192.168.100.254
This may break other services that I don't know about but atleast the
FTP is faster now.
