I am not seeing quite the difference between libtool releases that you are
although I see a big slowdown starting with 2.4.3.  These timings are for
optimized builds of GraphicsMagick on a 12-core GNU/Linux system using -j 12:

I think that we can't see obviously slowdown by "make -jN",
but "make -j1" will. And bash is much slower than dash, I'm trying to
figure out why.

It seems like this issue is already corrected in the source tree but you are

Yes, I think that the git repo has fixed the problem:

    libtool: don't execute automake and autoconf on every invocation.

correct that the issue is much more apparent with -j1.

Optimized:

   2.4.2 : 3:43.43
   2.4.5 : 4:33.11

Non-Optimized:

   2.4.2 : 1:21.21
   2.4.5 : 2:05.48

We need a test case which is executed before every major release to make sure
that a performance regression has not been introduced.
