A shell parses the whole @code{if}/@code{fi} construct, creating
temporary files for each here document in it. Some shells create links
-for such here-documents on every @code{fork ()}, so that the clean-up
-code they had installed correctly removes them. It is creating the
-links that the shell can take forever.

Moving the tests out of the @code{if}/@code{fi}, or creating multiple
@code{if}/@code{fi} constructs, would improve the performance
