I've been thusfar unable to get the code in getaddrinfo.c to compile as part of socketmodule.c (errors about missing #defines and struct members). Unless maybe Barry or Jack can figure out what the problem is, I think solving this particular performance problem may have to wait until after the 2.3 release.

I don't see myself having any more time to dig into this. I say if it doesn't get resolved, we'll leave it in the old state (which works, but is slow), and add a release note about it in the known bugs section.
