I can confirm that it takes a long time: $ time frontend/lintian ../manpages-dev_5.03-1_all.deb I: manpages-dev: cannot-check-whether-usr-share-doc-symlink-points-to-foreign-package I: manpages-dev: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man3/fgetws.3.gz "permit to" "permit one to" I: manpages-dev: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man3/gethostbyname.3.gz "permits to" "permits one to" I: manpages-dev: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man3/inet_net_pton.3.gz pres press I: manpages-dev: spelling-error-in-manpage ... use --no-tag-display-limit to see all (or pipe to a file/program) W: manpages-dev: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man2/ioctl_list.2.gz 730: warning [p 8, 2.7i]: cannot adjust line W: manpages-dev: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man2/syscall.2.gz 200: warning [p 2, 5.5i]: cannot adjust line N: 3 tags overridden (3 info) real 0m50.609s user 3m38.614s sys 0m16.174s In a first attempt to get to the issue, I reverted commit 067ec6cb but it took about the same: real 0m51.193s user 3m39.174s sys 0m15.833s Do you have older measurements to which we can compare this performance?
