Gnome performance question

[Bob Smith]

In both cases, the IP address are in the /etc/hosts table.  Granted, in
the case of the 2.4Ghz machine, there are two IP addresses, but the
same issue holds true on other machines I've run with single IP addresses.

It looks like a resource contention problem, or excess trapping, but I'm
not sure where to look for that.
