[ale] Long lag for command line

[Doug Hall]

I've experienced this kind of slowness from a dying hard drive - only it
might have been the controllers and not the disk itself. I remember running
Diskwarrior (Mac hard disk utility program), and even though it took a
LONG, LONG time to run, it came back with only insignificant errors.
(Improper file count in the index, etc.) Once I replaced the drive,
everything was back to normal. Do you have a spare drive you could throw in
there?
