nsswitch.conf is very sensitive in HPUX. strange things can happen if this config is wrong because it does try to do lookup and resolutions, apart from slow logins have also seen other things like doing swinstall can also be affected.
First login to a few putty sessions as root.
Then try remove the dns. and see if it improves.

If you really having dns make sure you have resolvable name server entries in your /etc/resolv.conf

nss-myhostname
NSS-MYHOSTNAME(8) nss-myhostname NSS-MYHOSTNAME(8)NAME
nss-myhostname - Provide hostname resolution for the locally configured system hostname.
SYNOPSIS
nss-myhostname.la
DESCRIPTION
nss-myhostname is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing hostname resolution
for the locally configured system hostname as returned by gethostname(2). Various software relies on an always-resolvable local hostname.
When using dynamic hostnames, this is usually achieved by patching /etc/hosts at the same time as changing the host name. This however is
not ideal since it requires a writable /etc file system and is fragile because the file might be edited by the administrator at the same
time. nss-myhostname simply returns all locally configured public IP addresses, or, if none are configured, the IPv4 address 127.0.0.2
(which is on the local loopback) and the IPv6 address ::1 (which is the local host) for whatever system hostname is configured locally.
Patching /etc/hosts is thus no longer necessary.
To activate the NSS modules, myhostname has to be added to the line starting with "hosts:" in /etc/nsswitch.conf
It is recommended to put myhostname last in the nsswitch.conf line to make sure that this mapping is only used as fallback, and any DNS or
/etc/hosts based mapping takes precedence.
EXAMPLE
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: compat
group: compat
shadow: compat
hosts: files dns myhostname
networks: files
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files
netgroup: nis
To test, use glibc's getent tool:
$ getent ahosts `hostname`
::1 STREAM omega
::1 DGRAM
::1 RAW
127.0.0.2 STREAM
127.0.0.2 DGRAM
127.0.0.2 RAW
In this case the local hostname is omega.
