Does anyone else have this problem: when I use the HOSTS file (referenced
below) my computer slows down _A_LOT_ ...to the point it is unbearable.

I just scaled the HOSTS file down to 20 or so that I see regularly.

Granted, I don't have a very beefy machine: 300 Mhz, 256 MB of RAM,
running Win2kPRO.

The CPU pegs at 90-100% for a while (30-60 seconds), and I notice
SERVICES.EXE in the Task Manager is the problem.

Is it just me and my underpowered machine?

i had the same problem.
It was the DNS-client.

So try stopping th dns-client to see if it helps

Oddly enough, yes. Which makes me wonder what, exactly, does the DNS-client
service do...?

P.S. Thanks for the tip!

See,
http://www.blackviper.com/WIN2K/win2...htm#DNS_Client

I think the DNS client service ends up trying to cache the entire hosts
file in memory. For large hosts file, this can chew up a lot of memory and
cause system slow downs.
