There are no magic 1 second delays in nginx - unless you've
configured something explicitly.

Most likely, the 1 second delay is coming from TCP retransmission
timeout during connection establishment due to listen queue
overflows. Check "netstat -s" to see if there are any listen
queue overflows on your hosts.
