[iptables] Computer slow down while doing some stuff

[Meow the Catz]

Hi,

I have setup some firewall rules, and now my computer is slowed down... I mean it seems it works as usual, except that when I do a "iptables -L" it takes a looong time to display every firewall rule lines.

I guess there is a problem with my rules, I should probably open some other stuff...

Here is what a iptables -L gives me:

Yes, iptables -L is slow, has been on every system I set up iptables. Is it not normal?
I hardly ever use iptables -L so I never cared much for it. Filtering itself works and is not slow.

on my systems it's not slow

is it faster if you don't request reverse dns lookups?

[Meow the Catz]

Yes without reverse dns lookups it is fast... so does it mean my iptables rules block reverse dns lookups? How can I enable'em ? (and should I enable'em ? Btw I prefer the iptables -L -n because I hate when iptables display the dns name rather than the IP... is there a way to have the -n option by default with the -L one?)

Thanks
