Shouldn't we be able to just run a profiler on dub to figure out where
it's spending those 10 seconds? (or about 3 seconds per run.)  Seems
like something easy enough to identify, even if the problem itself may
not be so simple to fix.  We should find out whether it's CPU-bound,
I/O-bound, or network-bound, at the very least.
