Typing ctl-x ? (two keystrokes) instead of TAB will invoke
_complete_debug, which writes a log file in /tmp of everything
executed.  Most likely, however, it's spending most of its time in
_make-parseMakefile, which for example when completing in the zsh
sources runs for about 2100 commands, or about 2/3 of all the lines in
the dump.
