Did you do this from a newly signed on job?  Because that's in effect what
you do when you debug in batch.

Again, I highly suggest you check your joblog, and see what the timestamps
are.  In a normal scenario, all the lines in your joblog will be pretty
close together (within milliseconds, IIRC).  I'm particularly interested to
see if the 20 seconds is BEFORE the first statement of the job is executed,
or AFTER the job hits the breakpoint, so you're going to need another job
that you can display the System i system time on at the exact time you
submit the job from WDSC.

If that doesn't help, the next step is Ethereal (now called WireShark).
Watch the traffic on the network to try and identify when the various events
occur.
