Same here... with lenny+IW.
But after some seconds, the page loads fine.
I'm afraid that machine (meter-svc.nytimes.com) could be kinda host/proxy
holding javascript metrics for getting counted all the "hits" of the
users. Marketing...

Anybody see something like that?

But why does it wait much longer with the desktop+Sid than with the
laptop+Lenny?

Maybe -just wild-guessing here- due to the difference in browser's
implementation of javascript engine (sid includes newer versions of both,
IW and Chrome, which in fact, should be even faster in javascript
rendering but who knows... Internet is becoming an "uncomfortable" place).

Using Ubuntu Linux 10.10
and Firefox 3.6.12,* I persistently am hanging up at
meter-svc.nytimes.com*.* It is not merely a few seconds, but
75-100.*
I have heard from the website customer service department of
NYT, who advise that the browser cache must be cleared, because
NYT pages incessantly are revised.* Since receiving this advice
I have cleared the browser cache consistently before and after
each session, to no avail.
My machine is dual-boot, Windows 2000 Pro and Firefox 3.6.12,
which uses the same profile as the Linux installation of
Firefox.* I experience no such hang-up at meter-svc.nytimes.com*
within Windows.
I am a heavy user of NYT.* I suspect they are preparing a
metered use dossier in support of fees they will impose early in
2011, but do not understand why I am not hanging up at the same
toll booth in Windows.

Used Vmplayer to run XP (from 2001) and this appears to be true: no
hangups on nyt servers anywhere. What's going on?
