bash backtick operator very slow

I've searched for anyone having similar problems, but can't find anything. Here's the gist: ~$ time hostname MY_HOSTNAME real0m0.111s user0m0.060s sys 0m0.040s ~$ time echo hello hello real0m0.000s user0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s ~$ time echo `hostname` MY_HOSTNAME real0m6.
