ok, i've found a cause of major part of slowdown -- it's this change:

Tue Aug  7 10:54:00 2001  Corinna Vinschen <corinna AT vinschen DOT de>

        * grp.cc (class grp_check): New class. Make `group_state'
        a member of class grp_check.
        (read_etc_group): Free former allocated memory on reread.
        * passwd.cc (class pwd_check): New class Make `passwd_state'
        a member of class pwd_check.
        (read_etc_passwd): Free former allocated memory on reread.


Yet, it's only half of the story. cvs build from just before this
change still work slower than the build i've used daily since the
beginning of August. I'll try to dig a little deeper now.
