Bug#619458: Excessive resource consumption

[Adam Majer]

Hi,

The program finally finished,

# time grub-setup /dev/sda

real    31m38.438s
user    16m17.537s
sys     4m22.956s

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xe9fe2194

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda3           17848       38913   169207648+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5           17848       38913   169207617   83  Linux


That disk is only partially used. Root device is /dev/sdb1. Running on
that device is quite a bit faster,

# time grub-setup /dev/sdb

real    0m2.870s
user    0m0.032s
sys     0m0.336s

Similarly for grub-setup /dev/sdc


So only /dev/sda is affected...
