sounds pretty slow to me, if that's a large tree
It should not be a large tree, just for your own private fonts and macros and maybe images. That it does not need mktexlsr there is a good thing for almost all ordinary tex users. It means you can put (and remove) stuff in your home tree without having to worry about running mktexlsr. Best wishes, Taco
