Github user davisp commented on the issue:

Also for posterity, someone else was looking at this and made this comment:
>The reason for the high cost of filename:rootname is that it is recursive,
and the number of loops
it runs is proportional to the string length that is passed in as
parameter. This is why we see the number of calls to it is very high.
I thought that was an interesting note so I've copied it here.
