Running the file(1) command on a 7 MB text file takes much longer in
10.2 than in 10.1.

Example:

# ll /tmp/x6
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  7384414 Sep  5 10:30 /tmp/x6
# file /tmp/x6
/tmp/x6: ASCII text
file /tmp/x6  26.12s user 0.00s system 99% cpu 26.237 total
#

I have this on all my machines since installing 10.2.

Any ideas on what is wrong?

That's performance regression in the file-5.23 compared with file-5.22
bundled with earlier versions of FreeBSD.

I have reported it upstream about 3 weeks ago but got no response:

For me, 5.23 is 130+ times slower than 5.22.
Partially that's because of larger look-ahead buffer (1MB vs. 256K):

However, backout of this change gets only 10 times speedup, not 130 times,
so there should be more changes guilty.
