well, this naturally led me to think that keeping those records local
should speed up starting netscrap, so I had tcpdump running while starting
netscrap but I didn´t see a single packet (having, of course, made sure that
those records aren´t cached). the netscrap-version I´m using is 4.61...so
much for trying to smart it out :-/
