Well I did try with the Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and with the same result, which is what I expected. Because if it was a DNS issue for some reason, it wouldn't be limited to zypper and openSUSE. As previously mentioned both yum and apt work perfect and fast in both functioning and downloading of packages.
I freshly installed openSUSE last night and updated. The actual launch and function of zypper doesn't seem to be the issue. It definitely appears to be the downloading of packages as the actual noted download speeds of each package was VERY inconsistent. I suspect it's the mirror from where my packages are sourced.
Do you happen to use a 3com 3C905c-TX/TXM ethernet card? There seems to be a bug in the 11.4 driver for this card. See also bug #688454.
