FWIW, I’ve applied the patch at http://gist.github.com/123525 to my system, which takes care of the slowdowns for me. Of course you should backup the path_helper script beforehand, patching system scripts is generally not a good idea, use at your own risk and so on.
Interesting. I didn't know that one. But why do I receive an egrep not found each time I start a bash after having applied this patch?
I’d guess that your PATH isn’t set up correctly :-D
Surely :)
(I thought /usr/bin was part of the default PATH bash defines on startup when it’s empty…)
I thought too, that's why I find it strange that this patch doesn't work on my system, which is by any means standard (and I had already come upon this problem), while it works for you (at the author of the patch too I guess). Anyway, that's out of the scope of this discussion (and I did replace egrep by /usr/bin/egrep); I just find it annoying not to understand why things don't work as I thought they should.
