| $ whoami
|
| I get a result immediately.
|
| However, if I do this:
|
| $ echo `whoami`
|
| It takes a good 5-10 seconds to print a value and return the prompt.

Isn't it something like echo `whoami` starts a new shell, that loads
the .profile (or whichever start-file) that takes 5-10 seconds to
load? 

And well.. if it is that whoami that due to some weird reason takes
the extra time.. but.. :-)

Hmm are there anything networked in the path, it picks data/files from
somewhere else?
