I'd vote to disable ident lookups by default if noone stands up shouting
"ident lookups are great, don't turn them off!". Considering these DO
cause problems for the unwary, (allthough 5sec wouldn't be as bad as
30sec are) one may argue people that want ident lookups should activate
them deliberately.
