I noticed way back with 3.8 that netstat would sometimes hang on me
for a very long time (over two minutes) before spitting out the Active
Internet Connections list; once it shows that though, it shows the
rest of the lists in an instant. I thought it was just a fluke so I
ignored it. But now I've seen it on other systems too, so I'm
wondering what's up.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
I've search the archives with "netstat hang" and "netstat freeze" and
found nothing.
What are the actual options you pass to netstat?
You know that netstat does DNS lookups by default? Those can cause some
massive delays if something does not resolve.
Oooooh, of course. Haha, I'm so silly, I let myself get bit by DNS.
Oh well, at least it's in the archives for the next fool.

"Stoopid" questions have a purpose, too ;-)

Probably patronizing most.. but..
A small boost in startup time is noticed when a static IP is used..
however not too much to make a worthwhile difference.
If you ever happen to unplug your network and boot the computer, which I
do sometimes since I don't want my network connected for security
reasons unless I'm using the network.. sometimes you can wonder why it
takes longer to boot up; it is usually always because of the DHCP
getting tripped up wondering why it can't find the DHCP server and this
can hang the computer for a few seconds/half-minutes.
