Slow/Down FTP Server?

My proftpd server takes a long time to connect sometimes, and times out sometimes, too. I'm trying to connect now (using SmartFTP client), and getting this:

Resolving host name mydomain.com...
Connecting to (mydomain.com) -> IP: x.x.x.x PORT: 21
Connected to (mydomain.com) -> Time = 15ms
Socket connected waiting for login sequence.
Connection timeout. No response from server.
As you can see, it connects quickly, but the server just seems to sit there... once it connects (if it does), its extremely fast. Currently, I'm the only user, and the server is a dedicated server in ThePlanet... apache is extremely fast, etc... not having problems with anything else.

Where do I begin to look into this?

Thanks in advance,
Brett
