It might be generating the hash map for the PATH information.   Run it
under strace(8) and see what it's doing.   If ti is the PATH hashing
that's taking all the time, try modifying PATH all in one go rather
than several timesl; this will reduce the number of times the hash map
is rebuilt.

(This is just a guess but even if the guess itself is wrong, using
strace will tell you what tcsh is doing).
