What matters is the number of directories in the value of $::auto_path,
the number of subdirectories in those directories, and the access speed
to the storage those directory pathnames represent.

Typical slow configurations have /usr/lib on $::auto_path, with
[llength [glob /usr/lib/*]] very large, and with storage at the other
end of a (possibly several... automounted?) network connection(s).


Don, how far down does it crawl? Certainly it looks in the
subdirectories directly under the $auto_path elements. But does it go
further? When Bwidgets installs with BWman and the demo directories,
does it look there? I wonder how many extensions install with stuff
that need not be present in the actual $exec_prefix/lib or $prefix/lib
- stuff that could go into $prefix/share or whatever.
