It is slower because it would have to do a DNS lookup for every IP. Sure, it could be cached but its just informational.

The benefit would be the added convenience of seeing meaningful DNS names instead of numeric IPs for those that prefer this. The added load on stunnel would be trivial for reverse dns lookups on separate process threads.
What would be the benefit? It would slow stunnel down.

Don't know on windows, but did a little test with a script to get the hostnames. First did a test using you records, and then used my current stunnel.log
script stlog.chk
grep -Eo '([0-9]{1,3}.){3}[0-9]{1,3}' /var/log/stunnel.log | sort | uniq
stout
echo "" >stout2 for a in `cat stout` ; do echo -n $a " ">>stout2; host $a | awk '{print $5}' >>stout2; done
The results of stout2 are 127.0.0.1 localhost. 173.194.74.108 qe-in-f108.1e100.net. 173.194.74.109 qe-in-f109.1e100.net. 192.168.128.201 3(NXDOMAIN) 74.125.25.108 pa-in-f108.1e100.net. 74.125.25.109 pa-in-f109.1e100.net.
Probable would want to add some code to filter out private address.
Final step would be to scan original log and add the name on
