With a file name like "/eng/eng10/ascott/.newsrc" there should be about 10
calls to file-exists-p (total), so it's very odd that it should take 18
seconds to complete those calls.  Can you try and figure out how much time
is taken by each call to file-exists-p and then try to figure out why some
of them would take an inordinate amount of time?
