If it takes that long to return only 773 lines, you should probably
turn on nscd, or if it's already on, crank up the cache size and TTL.

hmm, i don't see any sign that ncsd's even installed, let alone running.


Maybe just a typo in your email, but it's:

nscd == Name Service Caching Daemon

not ncsd (== National Cyber Security Division [part of Homeland Security!])
