It's not limited by network speed because I have HOMEBREW_NO_GITHUB_API and HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE enabled. It's not like I just today stumbled into the problem.

Brew's not even consuming much system cpu time during `brew search`, despite hogging a core for a full minute.

Even just `brew help` takes almost 10 sec cold.

Are you using JRuby or something? 10 seconds is too long.

> time brew help

> brew help 0.55s user 0.26s system 96% cpu 0.849 total

Regular Ruby 2.5.1. I do have a throttled CPU due to no battery in the MacBook, but I still have Python and other stuff to compare, and Brew (or Ruby) definitely does something wrong on my machine. It's hugely CPU-bound without a particular reason for being so.

Weird. I'd guess Brew because MRI Ruby tends to have pretty good boot times.
