Yep, its quite a pain in the ass as i found out the hard way, i had a
banner software setup displaying upto 6 differient banners (and differient
types. eg: text, banner, box etc) in a single page only after gethostbyaddr
and damn, did it take long...as i turned off that option in the setting I
got a performance boost of over 120%
HTH.
