I never have more than a 2-3 second lookup for MX records from Exim, and
thats on a 350Mhz K6-2 chip running Linux :> Yes I have bind on the system,
but I also have a slowdown in that my connection is only 56k

hmmm. i don't have delays anything like this, for comparably sized
lists, on my linux server.
