Roadrunner DNS lookup was taking forever after I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on magrathea, so I Googled (as you do) and found this gem from 2006. The upshot: Roadrunner and Adelphi DNS can be slow for Linux machines (but not Windows!), so it's easier to set your DNS lookup addresses to use OpenDNS servers. Go figure.
