You can fix *most* of this by making sure that there are entries in

OK - my /etc/hosts file contained the following EXCEPT for the last line
(fqdn) added this morning:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost athens
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
192.168.15.2 jerusalem.mpeters.local jerusalem
192.168.15.5 laserjet.mpeters.local laserjet
192.168.15.23 athens.mpeters.local
Hopefully it was lack of fqdn in /etc/hosts - though that would be
puzzling, as I don't run any dns that defines that host name, so why it
would cause slowdown when I can't reach the outside world because of
lack of fqdn that it didn't have anyway is puzzling.
Another possibility - I have the gnome weather applet running on the
panel, it could not update obviously as it could not get outside local
lan, I don't know if that would have triggered gnome/x11 slowness or not.
