Wow!  That.  Is.  It.

Toggling malloc debugging option J makes the "slow" machines "fast"
and vice versa.

Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.6 GHz,      FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT amd64   ~60 min

19 seconds.

I guess that falls under the "obvious" configuration differences
to check, but since it usually doesn't cause a significant slowdown
I completely forgot about it.  Embarrassing.

But still.  Two orders of magnitude?  That is a pathological case.


Probably it means that lzo2 is doing pathological numbers of mallocs.
