sudo-1.9.15p5 performance

[gngrossi]

There is a significant difference in the timings between the IBM ported tools sudo and the zopen tools sudo.
The CPU time looks to be four times larger.

Interesting, I'll give this a try, that is very significant

Do you see a difference in performance when running as "sudo ps -ef" as root vs non-root? Does sudo-1.9.15p6 have the same performance issue?
On my system, I'm seeing <1s on sudo ps -ef
