It may be possible that the DHCP timeout was due to my code being stopped in the debugger, (but I do not think that it was,) but the freeip was definitely a timeout.

What is the purpose of this timeout? It is so that the system does not lock up and need manual intervention. With this logic then a one minute timeout should be fine. Foreman should never timeout if there is any possibility whatsoever that the operation will complete. ("Slow" is not a bug or failure, though it does need some investigation.)

This slowness has been observed when running the native_ms DHCP proxy. Maybe the Windows box was being hammered when this operation took place. It is a virtual NT machine, and does not host the DHCP server itself, though they are both on the same site.
