I often experience relatively slow lookups of DNS records in .ampr.org and 44.in-addr.arpa.

It can be instructive to use the 'dig' '+trace' option to do lookups as that will give you timing results as the query descends the tree. That way you can get an idea of where the delay may be. Together with the '@' option to direct your query to a particular nameserver you might be able to identify the bottleneck when it occurs. - Brian
