Does Mozilla start quicker if you have the homepage set to blank?

You may find that one of the name servers is not responding, and Mozilla
has found it in the resolv.conf

It could be that Nautilus uses a better algorithm to do DNS resolution
than waiting for the resolver to timeout before trying the next server.
