Interesting; the first thing I tried when triaging this was to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf as follows:

# hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname
hosts: files dns

... to eliminate the possibility that it was multicast DNS causing the slowdown. But it appears I'm behind the times. ;-) (And didn't this only affect the .local domain?)

Does this mean there are now two subsystems responsible for link-local address resolution? (avahi and systemd-resolved?)
