I really badly noticed some time ago with a package which took a really
long to complete its test suite (I think it was db4.5), where even arm
needed only a half hour, even our fast machines where busy for a day. I
looked a bit into it and according to top half that time was spend in tcl.
I looked a bit into it and my current best guess is that some string
function could use some more optimizations...
