One difference between Asterisk 1.6.0 and previous versions is that when a 
channel answers, there is a built-in 500 ms delay so that media has time to be 
set up. This may be what you are experiencing.

There was a bug reported recently that was traced back to this delay. In the 
next 1.6.0 tarball, the delay will behave slightly differently, although I doubt 
it will be noticeable for the situation you have described. The bug I refer to 
is: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=12924
