Try using iptables -n -L "whatever"
It may be trying to do reverse lookups.
Hope this helps

Subject: iptables -L *very* slow
When I try and print out my iptable rules using iptables -L, it takes
about three minutes for the rules to print out (and there are only 9 of
them).
Why is does this take so long? Is this a bug?
I am using the newest version of iptables with a custom 2.4.20 kernel.
Thanks!
