On my E3-1230v2 system (not a slouch), the difference is 1s to 110s -
which is in line with Matthew's results.

A two-orders-of-magnitude slowdown in make startup is unreasonable and
I formally request r394573 be backed out.  I can see the benefits of the
functionality but the current cost is too high.
