Affects me. Ubuntu 14.04. dig -x 192.168.1.101 takes a long time to not come up with an answer. And that's because it's defined in /etc/hosts.

lsof -i and tcpdump are two programs that can do do reverse-DNS lookups, and ignoring /etc/hosts means they take way longer than they normally would.

Hardcoding command line options? Updates breaking things badly? Agree with previous comments.
