I experienced a similar issue. The problem is that wu-ftpd is trying
to do dns lookups on the connecting ip address. If you don't have dns
setup correctly, then you get a long connect time (~30-40 sec).

To fix this issue, you can simply comment out the nameserver in
/etc/resolv.conf

This will default all dns lookups to the localhost, and will reduce
the delay to about 3 seconds.

If you want to get rid of the delay completely, you need to recompile
wu-ftpd with the following options: --disable-dnsretry --disable-dns
