I have a hosts file with a heap of advertising servers listed. With Opera
7.54 everything was fine. I've upgraded to 8.0 beta 1, and now I get a
connection "hang" everytime Opera tries to resolve one of these
advertising servers, with the message 'Connecting to remote host xxxx'.

I do not have the opera ad servers blocked, as was mentioned in another
post.

Any way around this? It really slows my browsing down.

Smells like a previous bug. See

~% uname --all
Linux localhost 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 #1 Mon Jan 10 12:07:55 PST 2005 i686 Celeron (Mendocino) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
~% opera --version
Opera 8.0 Beta 1. Build 913 for Linux. Qt library 3.0.5

Maybe try selecting Synchronous DNS, to see if that changes the
symptoms. (just a guess).
