Wldeploy Ant task deploys app in 'New' state

Question

I am trying to deploy a web application in WL 10.0 using the wldeploy Ant task. However, everytime the application is deployed, the consolidated state is 'New' (or deferred deployment). I have to bounce the servers everytime to bring the app in the Active state.
Here is my code:
<target name="undeployWeb">
          <!-- Undeploy the existing deployment -->
          <wldeploy action="undeploy" verbose="true" debug="false" name="${deploymentName}" user="${weblogicUsername}" password="${weblogicPassword}" adminurl="${weblogicAdminURL}" targets="${weblogicTargetServers}" failonerror="false" />
</target>
<!-- Deploy .WAR to a target server -->
<target name="deployWeb">
          <!-- Deploy the application remotely -->
          <wldeploy action="deploy" stage="stage" usenonexclusivelock="true" source="${weblogicDeploymentLocation}/${deploymentName}.war" remote="true" name="${deploymentName}" upload="false" user="${weblogicUsername}" password="${weblogicPassword}" verbose="true" adminurl="${weblogicAdminURL}" debug="true" targets="${weblogicTargetServers}" />
</target>
Is there any way to avoid the bounce of the target servers? I wish to activate the web app straightaway. Please help.

Thanks user10939158, for looking into this.
Reason I am saying network is not an issue here because the artifact copy to the remote servers and deployment happens fast, it is just at the step of closing DM connection, it is waiting for a long time (>5 mins). I am guessing that the Deployment Manager message exchanges with the server (internally) has something to do with LAN vs WAN. And, I would expect deployment over WAN take a minute extra as opposed to 5-9 minutes extra what we are seeing now.
Yes, I tried running the wlst script on the remote server and it is fast as well.
Just to clarify, I do not have a local server. I run the plain simple ant script on a build box(lean linux box) which is in the US.
Thanks for your help again.
