Setting up firewall - slow

[paulhds]

When you are first setting up new Netgate/Pfsense firewalls...and if they are not connected to the Internet....they are very slow moving between screens. When it is put into production and has Internet...that issue goes away....is there a reason why this occurs and can it be turned off while setting up the firewalls?

@paulhds DNS lookups have to time out. Notes say this will be fixed in 22.01:
