I have found the "reason" behind this slowness, and I now feel quite stupid.
My bash version was upgraded into "4.3~rc2-1". I downgraded it back to
4.2+dfsg-1, which solved the problem. I have no clue about the differences
between the current bash version and the next one, but one thing now seems
obvious: there are terrible performance problems, probably due to a bug.
Now, I have to find how and where to report this problem.
