I would say you were right, except for two reasons. 1) this only happens on the initial TCP handshake (SYN, ACK). 2) The frequency of TCP "Stalls" has noticeably increased as the number of entries in the ipchains rules set has increased.
I don't know why outgoing connections will continously timeout consistently for an N number of times or until a time period of a certain amount has elapsed (which might be because there are other automatic outgoing connections because of things such as dnetc, etc).
