| $ whoami

| I get a result immediately.

| $ echo `whoami`

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?
