The same issue is described here:
http://www.unchartedbackwaters.co.uk/pyblosxom/debian_ubuntu_dns_resolution_delays

I can confirm that removing mdns4 makes the problem go away. So it's
really https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/94940,
please merge.

Title:
  ping waits 5 seconds between packets if RDNS is not present

Status in iputils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If you use ping from the command line and the host you are pinging
  does not have a rDNS entry, then ping pauses for 5 seconds or more
  between packets. Since there's no output on the terminal it looks as
  if the host is down, but when you press Ctrl-C, you get a line about
  the first packet.

  Here's the output from ping as well as a packet capture. b.b.b.b
  doesn't have an rDNS entry, but c.c.c.c does.

  a.a.a.a = my ip address
  b.b.b.b = pinged.machine.com
  c.c.c.c = 2nd.pinged.machine.com
  d.d.d.d = first dns server in resolv.conf
