the ### is the process ID of lookupd.
Are you running the firewall?
No, the OS X firewall is not active, I'm behind a wired router.

If you're not using Netinfo for directory service, make sure that it isn't turned on in Directory Access (in the Utilities folder)
In fact, you can probably turn of most of those...if you don't browse for network resources, you can turn them all off. They don't turn off the services, just the service discovery, see Help in Directory Access for more info.
I've never even seen or opened Directory Services before.
All my computers are set to a default state which has these three inactive (not checked):
Active Directory, BSD Flat File and NIS, and NetInfo.
These five are active (box checked):
AppleTalk, LDAPv3, Rendezvous, SLP, and SMB.
I took you advice and made them all inactive, but so far no speedup.
I'm concerned about these netinfo logs because I don't understand what these are.
The process ID # most common is the 254 which is the process "lookupd" and the logged message:
<Date> <Time> localhost lookupd[254]: NetInfo connection failed for server 127.0.0.1/local
would appear to be self-referring like some type of loop? Since NetInfo isn't active in Directory Services to begin with, why would I get these?
Other process ID's refer to things like: notifyd, ioupsd and other things (currently not active) that end in "d" ?
I was able to determine that when a saw I spinning beach ball in Safari or Mail, that this same error message as above with the correct time stamp for the spinning beach ball was present in the NetInfo log, so this error is the spinning beach ball.
