Performance impact of peer IP resolution ...

As I understand it - all communication with seeds/peers may use IPs . Resolving to "meaningful" addresses & flags are for your eyes (only... 007...) and can be completely eliminated if they are not useful at the moment (=tab hidden) thus saving CPU/program resources.

But as someone said - you can just disable this yourself (too bad, I like it...) . I hope ludde do stop DNS queries in this case.

There also might be a huge difference in speed during the 12+ hours that you are NOT looking at those peers (=tab hidden, not minimized)

No, because you're only querying a peer every now and then. It's not like µT is continuously checking to see if that IP is still in Aruba or whatever.

Remember we're querying only .NET\.COM peers, and not EVERYONE.

To my knowledge, everyone is queried with revDNS (as Firon said), but with .net/.com peers or other peers with unrecognizable TLDs, they are looked up in flags.conf too?
