I’ve seen this when there is very slow performance between your web server and Google. The HTTP API tries several different methods before it gives up, it is possible that in your environment it has to try several methods before it is successful.
One thing to do would be to look at the network traffic using a tool like FireBug to see where the delay is. That may help narrow down where the problem is.

Thanks Mike. I ran a page speed analysis in Firebug and got a score of 84.
I’m not really sure where to go from there. The only yellow icon was for
“Leverage browser caching”
and to be honest I’m not really sure how to do that. Any ideas? By the way, here’s the link to my form
Thanks!
I just ran through your form and the redirect happened pretty quickly, certainly faster than I could read the page before it changed. In my case Firebug Net tab reports “GET /thanks/” took 379 milliseconds of which 370 milliseconds was waiting for a response.
I am not really sure what can be done to speed it up although 379 milliseconds is less than .4 seconds – far from the several second delay you noted.
