New Revision: 209063
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/209063

Log:
  Cache the last result from if_indextoname for printing.  This speeds up
  "arp -an" when using a lot of aliases (on a single interface).
  
  A better fix would include a better interface for if_indextoname than
  getting the whole address list from the kernel just to find the one
  index->name mapping.
