listing keys with-colon is sooo slow

[Norbert Preining]

Why is this the case? list-keys without-colon works very very fast
and IMHO give the same information but in different format. Why then
is the --with-colon version a factor 10 slower then without.

TOOTING BEC (n.)

A car behind which one draws up at the traffic lights and hoots at
when the lights go green before realising that the car is parked and
there is no one inside.
