Not necessarily slow, DNS Lookups are generally pretty fast: ~ dig somerandomurlimadeup.com | grep 'Query time: ' ;; Query time: 23 msec

- greglindahl 9y agoEr, that's just saying "you got lucky and the root nameserver you hit was fast". Looking up any valid .com requires that plus a 2nd level lookup.
- alanh 9y agooh wow, what would that make it, 50ms? that's almost enough time to blink!
- sametmax 9y agoCompare to the rest of the operations your terminal do, it's crazy slow though.
- JosephRedfern 9y agoI tried on several domain names (that I had not, to my knowledge, recently visited), and they were all around the 25ms mark. I'm not saying that this is the case universally, but for many the typical lookup time will be very fast.
