This takes a very long time for me (> 20 minutes, previously under 30 seconds):
sed -n '/^[^;]/ p' < /home/jhd/src/emacs/leim/leim-ext.el >> leim-list.el
EMACSLOADPATH=/home/jhd/src/emacs/leim/../lisp LC_ALL=C ../src/emacs -batch 
--no-init-file --no-site-file --multibyte -f batch-byte-compile 
/home/jhd/src/emacs/leim/ja-dic/ja-dic.el
10000 entries
20000 entries
30000 entries
40000 entries

It goes to 40000 in about the same time as before, but then is seems to hang.

It is a huge problem when you develop in Emacs.
