The general number isn't unexpected. The total number is a bit more so as WhereIs gets called once for each command more or less. If you have 5,000 compile steps that's 5,000 calls to stat the compiler path.

stat() likely get's called on every single source file.
That's how you get the date stamps from the file.
So that's not really unexpected.
I"ll take a look at the test vs normal usage on the docbook logic later today.

I stuck in a pull request a day or so ago to cache the result of WhereIs as doing some tests with strace I've found that 'stat' gets called an /awful/ lot on our system (every single time we have a C++ source to compile for instance).
Whilst I was running the tests, I found that all of the docbook related tests are failing because test.where_is is using a different path (the current OS one) to that used by the test (which are just using c:\windows\system32). I'm not sure what the solution is to this.
Apologies if I sent this before, I thought I had but I can't see anything in my inbox at work which should have picked it up.
