 Hi. Most attributes, the address included, are quick to query (averaging
 0.0004 seconds on my system). However, if the user sets an address
 attribute, ex:

 Address tor.spider007.net

 the address query takes *far* longer (between 0.15 - 5 seconds). Having
 getinfo queries block for several seconds is a substantial problem for
 controllers, in arms case causing a very long startup time and
 intermittently freezing the interface (though I'm still not sure of the
 root cause behind this later symptom... probably something tangential to
 setting the address since I cache that particular value).

 This is courtesy of Sjon who helped discovered this issue. Cheers! -Damian
