Probably no one's ever tried it. Most likely whatever O(n) (or worse)
mess is causing this is also slowing down common cases though, so
worth filing a report and/or investigating.

I would guess that some just hitting "Ctrl-C; bt; cont" in gdb a few
times during the long delay would show up where the code is spending
time.
