This is definately abnormal. While some stuff is slow on my machine  
also (1GHz G4), with files of that size I haven't experienced that  
kind of delay.

The way bash invoked means that (unless you changed something) it  
will emulate a login-shell and thus source the global profile  
followed by the first of .bash_profile, .bash_login or .profile in  
your homedir.

The duplicate line command consists of 'echo' and some bash variable  
substitutions.
