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

THANK YOU. Setting $PS4 totally led me to the answer.

It turns out I had some node module installed that installed this as a
dependency:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/which

This JS clone of `which` was overriding the system executable
and taking 500ms to run. pass calls `which gpg2`, hence the extreme delays.

Still no clue why node-which takes so long on one machine but not
another, but I can live without it (and honestly prefer not to have npm
polluting my system utils).

Thanks again!
