I'd guess - and that's all it is :) - that /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb isn't created unless you (or some program) explicitly do(es) so, and if it doesn't exist, the 'weekly' script will just skip updating locate. That's the one that takes the time - I just ran MacJ here and the whole thing took just under 5m (pismo/500), of which about 4m 20s was updating locate.
