Bonjour causes iTerm to freeze up

What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Connect to a network with a lot of bonjour users
- Watch iTerm struggle, stop working while querying for Bonjour users
- Try to turn off Bonjour in the preferences and iTerm freezes completely
The fix for me was to turn off networking, bring up iTerm2, and then turn off Bonjour.
It's a confusing bug, because at home I had no issues with iTerm, and then at work it would slow down and shoot to >90+% CPU for a few seconds every minute. Bonjour should probably be off by default, as I doubt most users take advantage of it.
