** Description changed:
$ time apt-mark showauto >/dev/null
real 0m0,620s
user 0m0,557s
sys 0m0,052s
When I run the command first time, it is even much slower.
- I could do the job* in fraction of a time using awk in POSIX shell script
- (name it ./apt-mark-showauto.sh):

*) The script omits Architecture information, though. And should apt-
config be queried for the extended_states file path?
Similarly
apt-cache show <pkg>
is slow. (It also shows whether a package is manually or automatically
installed.
