Does the exit node get a public IP address there?

It may also be that your uplink is simply building up some delay
when under heavy traffic (esp. uplink). I've seen ping times go
up to several seconds on smallish DSL links under heavy upload
so that DNS resolution times out.

Try to run, like, 'ping 8.8.8.8' and look at the ping times.

(8.8.8.8 is one of google's DNS servers, but that is only relevant
as I can remember that address; we just need the ping replies.)
