The pathauto plugin turns out to be the slowest plugin on earth. This is why it is sitting in the "disabled by default" section.
It appears that this setting is ignored, and the pathauto plugin is still called. This is clearly a bug. Either in the plugin, or (more likely) in the plugin engine.

donquixote commentedThe idea is that a plugin should not be called, if none of its rules are enabled.
The result would be discarded anyway, but we want to skip them for performance reasons.

donquixote commentedThis is in the 6.x version, and noone else has complained yet.
I set this to wontfix, unless someone else can provide a patch.
I don't even know if it still applies.
