That doesn't sound right. I see no such delay on Centos here. Could you please 
run this:

strace -Ff -tt -T -o out.txt php hello.php

And put out.txt somewhere we can see it? (it's going to be too long to paste into 
the bug report)

http://vaiasa.com/out.txt

looks like php is trying to include libs that is not there!

note i compiled with -with-libdir=lib64
and all the required libs installed and php did not complie that its not found.

why is it connecting to my DNS server !

problem FIXED by adding:

MyIP MyHostname

to: /etc/hosts

now the cli is working as usual.

This has happened to me on Mac OS X too. It's caused by compiled-in IMAP extension. I don't consider this issue fixed.
