tetex weirdness

[Joseph Chung]

I use TeX primarily for lilypond music typesetting. Ever since the upgrade
from hamm to slink, I've been frustrated with tetex. Does creating the ls-R
database really need to take 30 minutes on a K6-2/333? Does xdvi really need
to take 15 minutes to pop up? Anytime I try to do anything with tetex,
kpsewhich is eating 98.6% of CPU for 20 minutes. Did I screw up the install or
is this normal behavior for tetex?
