You are not the first one bitten by this.  Having "." in your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH will slow down programs on sshfs.  Usually that
happens because some stupid scripts do this:

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/some/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

which results in

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/some/lib:

And that empty path after the colon is interpreted as "."

Thanks,
