I actually figured out what the problem is:

     https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/commit/?id=07b169ec32ad6961ed8625a0b932a663abcb01d2

On macOS, pass uses the brew command to find the path for GNU getopt.  
This is what is actually taking so long. The commit above fixes the 
issue.

I'm glad you said something or else I likely wouldn't ever have dug into 
this. It's good know that it's not pass itself that is slow.
