It mostly seems to be in the networking directory (with a few leaks into 
include/inet_common.h and libbb/inet_common.c), plus loginutils/deluser.c.

The first one I looked at memorialized the version the busybox app forked 
from, and my general theory is if that's still at all relevant then we 
haven't optimized it enough.  But that's just me. :)
