Fixed at last!
After lots of Googling I found a Vista issue that caused slow DNS lookups. There is a service called Base Filtering Engine, that when switched on slows look ups right down. It's not recommended to have this service switched off for security reasons, so after some more Googling led me to download
Update for Windows Vista KB929547 (resolves an issue where after installing the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) driver, applications and services appear to stop responding for approximately 15 seconds
).
This has fixed the slow DNS problem, the only thing I'm angry about is that Vista told me I had all the relevant updates. Obviously not.....
