The big hosts file seems to cause a significant slowdown on Windows7 SP1 #93
Comments
Hi @krasi0, can you provide the sources that you have used? Everything seems fine on my phone and system using the default sources from this repo though I have delays too but just less than a minute. And what kind of new connections are those? |
Hey, @Laicure ! I have been using the file downloaded straight from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts I am describing an issue where svchost.exe uses 100% CPU for about 20 seconds or more (parsing the big hosts file I presume) once I enable an ethernet interface (I have to disable / enable it quite frequently for ... reasons). During that delay nothing resolves or no outbound tcp/ip connections are possible. Afterwards, the delays are no longer that big. My question: would you happen to know if there is a way to somehow cache the parsed hosts file between dis/enabling the ethernet interface, so that I avoid that initial delay I am describing? Thanks in advance! |
/hmm Have you tried not using the hosts file and rerun the disable/enable interface thing and see the differences? I am using a modified hosts file from this repo, (forked it, UI revamp for Windows users but still follows the concepts of this repo). Maybe you can try it. |
Yes, the DNS client is running. With the default, small hosts file there Thanks! On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 10:25 PM, Laicurè Leviarè [email protected]

I experience the same issues with your curated hosts file. I guess, it's On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 10:28 PM, Krasimir Krastev [email protected]

There should be no delay at all. Like, imperceptible. Closing because this is a local machine config/firewall/AV thing. It's Windows. |
@StevenBlack This is issue in DNS cache setup. Hard workaround: SRC: https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hostswin7.htm Windows 10 have fixed this issue and don't need any regfix. |
I've noticed if you go above 10k hosts in win10 dns is unusable, like all reqeuests time out |
I can confirm this is happening again since one of the last Windows 10 updates. It took some time to find out why the wifi is taking up to 3 minutes to connect to the internet. The PC is running fine for years. Haven't updated the hosts in quite some time. This seems to be a windows DNS Client Bug regression from Win 7 days. I can see my DNS-Client consumes a full Thread at 100% until internet connectivity is established. Connection is instant when I put the original hosts file in place. I just leave my two cents here for other wanderers. |
As usual while commenting about Windows behavior: I rarely use Windows personally. But, disabling the DNS client might help? 🤔 |
This is mostly noticeable once a network interface becomes enabled. Ping commands and establishing new connections don't appear to work during the first 40-50 seconds or so
