Thanks for the suggestion.
No I haven't. Because the bug manifested itself only recently in
2.4pl25ME+89-2, after being absent in 2.4pl25ME+66-1. So I presumed
it was unintentional. And the strace clearly shows a search that
one can easily interpret as a coding mistake. So I haven't been
looking for exotic explanations where a simple one suffices!

Again, this is not english. What? "is several representations"? Do they
mean "HAS several representations"?

The comments are incomprehensible, I am afraid, which is a bug in
itself.
However, I'll try it ...
with elm ... 66-1 ..
nbd:/tmp% elm
I can't understand keyword "local-fast-lookup" in line 18 in ".elm/elmrc" file
I can't understand keyword "gpg" in line 166 in ".elm/elmrc" file
Fix .elm/elmrc or let elm rebuild elmrc with option '-w'
nbd:/tmp%
with elm .. 95-3 ..
grrr .. doesn't work at all with nfs mounts. Wait while I recompile with
appropriate locking options.
Yes. I would say that
local-fast-lookup = yes
works! The difference is profoundly noticable with the option set and
unset. One hangs for a minute, the other goes through like lightning.
However, I think that's just a workaround.
