1.3.1 Server List HELP

In 1.2.5, I would hit Refresh or Multiplayer and it would load just fine. But now that I have 1.3.1, if I go to multiplayer, it takes about 30 seconds for everything to load(players, ping, server message of the day.) Does anyone have a fix for it? It also takes about 5 seconds to join a server. Please help!
