pass is 15x slower on one machine than another. How to debug?

[Ryan Lue]

Hi,

Suddenly, pass is v. slow on my desktop.

    $ time pass ls

shows 0.6s on my desktop vs. 0.04s on my laptop.
Both are comparably specced and running
nearly identical installations of Debian buster. 

This only began a week or so ago, but for the life of me,
I can’t figure out what change caused it.

Any suggestions re: how to debug this performance issue?

P.S. Thanks for an amazing utility.
