To me it seems as if it was a problem of communication between windows 64-bit an
32-bit clients. I have tested hosts in the same vpn running windows 7 64-bit
(prof. and home prem.), windows xp 32-bit, windows server 2003 32-bit.
Connections between two 64-bit clients act normal, as well as the do between two
32-bit clients. Only pings from 64-bit to 32-bit go up to 2000 ms.

*arrg*

Please do not stone me for the missing line breaks!

The problem also occurs in the communication between Windows 64-bit clients and
debian 64-bit clients.
