goodhosts stalls when the /etc/hosts file has too many entries #28

@conradolandia

I block malware sites and ads from the internet using a large hosts file (600.000+ lines), redirecting all these bad hosts to 0.0.0.0. When I try to use goodhosts, it just freezes and whatever process I was on won't go on. If I remove most of the entries form /etc/hosts, the process completes without problems. Is this a bug or expected behavior?
