Odd.  On a positively ancient PPro 200 machine with 256MB of RAM and a
glacial 12GB disk, mj_shell starts in three seconds and I think it's
too slow.

So, have you at run mj_shell -D and looked at the times for
compilation and module loading?  (My now you must know that the first
thing anyone asks for is debug logs.)

It just calls hostfqdn (from Net::Domain) and uses that as the domain
name.  You can read the source of that module to see what it does to
figure out your domain name.  This does the same thing mj_shell does:

perl -MNet::Domain -e 'print Net::Domain::hostfqdn(), "\n"'
