dlocate uses gnu locate (from findutils) for "dlocate -S".

i don't know what happened to locate, but a few (several?) versions ago
it got very slow. locate searches that used to respond instantly now
take several seconds.

that's with a 3MB (291511 lines) /var/lib/locatedb 

$ ls -l /var/lib/locate/
total 2927
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      2983699 Feb 27 06:37 locatedb

$ locate / | wc -l 
 291511

anyway, if locate is slow then dlocate -S is slow.
