Can you use wc -l, and then group them by extension? I would expect hashes (.mdb, .hdb) to load quite fast, since we have lots of those too, and .ndb, or maybe .ldb to load a bit more slowly if you have many. Although it is expected that using more signatures slows down DB reload, 4 minutes is a bit much.

AFAIK it supports it only for static code generation (i.e. it requires an assembler).
