Yea.  If you enable dbfawk and it finds a matching file to go with
your map, it'll take longer.  One of these days when I find time
I'll go through some profiling of all the map modules and the dbfawk
stuff, find where the bottlenecks are, and code around them.  It
really worked well when that was done on the main body of Xastir
code.
