Thank you.  That worked!  But, loaddefs.el of HEAD is almost
the same size.   But, as it is strange that it's slow only in emacs-unicode-2
branch, I investigated a little more and found that lisp/.cvsignore
contains loaddefs.el both in HEAD and emacs-unicode-2.
Shouldn't cvs ignore loaddefs.el then?

And,  "cvs -z9 status loaddefs.el" in HEAD returns this:

===================================================================
File: loaddefs.el       Status: Unknown

   Working revision:    No entry for loaddefs.el
   Repository revision: 2.96    /cvsroot/emacs/emacs/lisp/Attic/loaddefs.el,v

But, the same command in emacs-unicode-2 returns this:
===================================================================
File: loaddefs.el       Status: Locally Modified

   Working revision:    2.95.2.2
   Repository revision: 2.95.2.2        
/cvsroot/emacs/emacs/lisp/Attic/loaddefs.el,v
   Sticky Tag:          emacs-unicode-2 (branch: 2.95.2)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      -ko

It seems that this file is deleted only in HEAD.  So, my
guess is that a file in a repository is not ignored even if
it is in .cvsignore.   Right?
