I ran into this problem recently too, and I'd love to hear a solution.

There was discussion quite a while ago on the DSSI list about GUIs
being very slow to appear, and lo_server_thread_new was *part* of the
problem. There were suggestions of a network misconfiguration (eg
mistakenly bypassing /etc/hosts and going to the nameserver) and a
possible fix (commenting out the IPv6-style getnameinfo() call in
liblo's src/server.c). This fix works for me, and that suggests that I
have a network configuration problem too.

It might be worth a look:
