As a first step before you look for the source on the server, I would do a tcpdump on the server interface to make sure that the delay you are experiencing are really originate there and not somewhere else on the network.

So regarding the wait I/O: first step is looging without sync, second step is logging only errors and higher third step is no logging at all (only for a testperiod to see if your problem is going away)

So are ther any other logmessages in high numbers beside the ones from dhcpd?

Shouldn't be an isuue. I do the same without having problems.
Or did you you just upgrade your IOS?
Is the problem occuring on both on your dhcpd-servers at the same time? Or only on one of them?
And are there any messages in the log which could give you a hint?

You would win one second, but haveing other problems. I won't recomment it. Better you find the real problem than working around it.

Could it be, that not your server is the source of the problem, but the server 10.2.2.240?
