It's taking so long because it's trying to do a DNS resolution of every IP address that it prints. My guess is that @Home uses some non-registered RFC1918 address space for its clients, so those addresses will never resolve, and will take forever not doing so. The -n flag disables DNS resolution, which is why it's so much faster.
