`lorri direnv` extremely slow with a large number of env vars

[mammothbane]

Describe the bug Very high evaluation times for output of lorri direnv with a large number of environment variables. In this example repo, I generate 2000 env vars and the eval takes 10-15s. I.e., every time you enter the repo directory, the shell is nonfunctional for 10-15s. There is a similar amount of overhead every time a change happens -> a nix build occurs.

This overhead is somehow linked to lorri — direnv using eval $(nix print-dev-env) instead of eval $(lorri direnv) takes on the order of a second to complete.

To Reproduce

• Clone my example repo.
• direnv allow, let lorri build
• cd out of/back into the repo dir -- takes on the order of 10-15s for me
• journalctl --user -eu lorri confirms that this slowness isn't because any nix builds have taken place.

For more quantitative results, from the parent directory of lorri-slow:

• time direnv exec lorri-slow true
  • on my machine: 14.92s user 0.17s system 99% cpu 15.127 total
• time nix-shell lorri-slow/shell.nix --run true
  • on my machine: 0.49s user 0.10s system 95% cpu 0.622 total

Expected behavior lorri direnv to finish evaluating in well under a second if not waiting on nix to build.
