Ok, tcpdump gave me insight into the problem, which is now resolved.
Whenever the java.net.Socket() constructor is called, java tries to
connect to UDP 56 on the loopback interface.  It repeats this process
20 times (at 5-second intervals) before giving up and creating the
socket anyway.

Running rpcbind solves the delay problem.  But I still wonder why this
is necessary.. maybe someone on this list knows.

Thanks for your help!
