This may indicate that you have a DNS problem. Is Apache configured to log
hostnames, or just the IP? If it's set up to do hostnames, then Apache
will try to look up the reverse DNS for each address trying to contact it.
You have DNS or host entries for your internal network's machines, I'm
guessing; try adding a host entry for a machine on the Internet and see if
that machine can browse quickly. If it can, then the reverse DNS for that
machine doesn't resolve, which is quite common because ISPs don't care
about quality anymore.
If it's not that, you may want to see if ipfilter is allowing for multiple
connections for incoming port 80. Do an "ipnat -l" on the IP NAT machines
while browsing; the server and browser should open a number of port 80
connections at the same time. If it's only opening one at a time, that
might be a problem.
Good luck,
