This is good news... bash is a pig for anything but interactive shells.

Have you tried pkgsrc pdksh?  If you bootstrap with '--full' you'll
get it automatically.

I've been using it for months now with actually very few problems
(patches already pushed either fixing the scripts or, in some cases
like perl changing the CONFIG_SHELL) and greatly enhanced performance.

Since I don't bulk build [at least not yet], it would be useful to
know how it fares.
