No, this call is very fast. Complete output:

texmfstart version 1.8.6
locating 'texexec.rb' in current path '.'
locating 'texexec.rb' in caller path '/usr/local/bin'

Now, after the ruby update, "texexec --check" takes still a long time. Here
is the complete output:

TeXExec | CtxTools | version 1.3.2 - 2004/2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD

It takes a lot of time between "start of analysis" and "end of analysis".
The format path seems strange to me with all the "unset" at the end.

Cheers, Peter
