Public bug reported: I am testing feisty herd5. when I switched from "automatic DNS" to a static IP configuration via network-admin, the system had a terrific slowdown. This means like 2minutes to open a terminal on a P4. From "top", both CPU and memory had very little load. I rebooted several times, both connected (the net was working, only it took 2 min to open the browser) and disconnected (wire off), but the system was terrific slow (it took very long to open applications, even nautilus). I switched to flwm interface, but it was the same. Finally I switched to "automatic DNS" again, and now everything is ok. Weirdest behavior ever on my PC. Hope that can help
