Do you have a session limit?  What do you mean by "hang"?

Well, what you should really do is abandon wu-ftpd in favour of proftpd
(www.proftpd.org) as a preliminary step.  

If you've compiled wrappers to support auth by identd, then that is a possible
source of latency.  It is unlikely that simply launching an ftpd outside of
inetd will cure the problems you describe, but it is possible.
