In the meantime Korni from PPA found that if you delete the TZ (timezone) variable in ENVARC: then everything gets back to normal (that is - fast) speed. Interesting...
He has probably just read Piru's comment to the issue in the ticket I opened in the internal MorphOS bugtracker
Piru has identified the timezone support introduced with MorphOS 3.11 as the reason for the slowness. So it's a feature but I can fix it by using a new API introduced with MorphOS 3.11 but of course existing software using the API in question will be slower because of timezone support introduced with MorphOS 3.11.

Rumour has it that the next MorphOS version will also feature an optimized version of that API so existing binaries will get faster

Code: Select all
- Change [MorphOS]: Hollywood uses timer.device's GetUTCSysTime() function now to avoid abysmal slowdowns
on MorphOS 3.10 and 3.11; on MorphOS 3.12+ the performance is better because of an optimization in
GetSysTime() but it's still not as fast as it used to be; using GetUTCSysTime() will fix this and make
Hollywood as fast as it used to be on MorphOS
