Well, in general I believe you are correct. But I do see, by monitoring the
list, that this kind of problem from time to time cause people problems. In
order to help them tune a configuration to  its optimal at least some kind
of verbode-level logging would help. For example, the total elampsed time
for doing the BLACKLIST would help a lot. Another detail is the time spend
for authentication using the identd, DNS and reverse lookup. Total elapsed
time would help.
I also believe this would not be a lot of code to add.

I have been in to this problem in the past and all help I got was
suggestions for looking at firewall configuration and missing identd
response. Digging down to lower levels showed me it was the response from
BLACKLIST hosts. So I believe there are some room for enhancements.

Am willing to entertain the idea, but why? Are response times that different
in practice? Or can a simple baseline be established based on your
connectivity in general... a threshold PER connection is probably a lot more
work to test than a threshold per server, and I don't see volunteers yet ;-)
So you'll have to justify the extra work to whoever volunteers to fix the
problem.

Would probably be easier to print time TAKEN if threshold is exceeded.

Just guessing though - not looking at the code.
