I’ve opened a ticket for this. The problem is that at some point the local location for $DISPLAY has changed, but xauth wasn’t updated to reflect that change. It used to be that it would start with /tmp/launch, but now it starts with /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd, so the special code in xauth that looks for /tmp/launch to treat it as a local socket no longer works. Instead, it tries to resolve the path as a DNS name, and it is in the getaddrinfo() call where the delay is happening.
