I had the same problem. I'm using 1.5.1 with the "delayrm" parameter, and
building a new history takes about 10 min for 250 MB history-size.. 
Suddenly, it took about 36 hours. I noticed, that the expire-proces,
usually using up to about 40 MB RAM, stayed at about 1.5 MB.

I tried several things without avail. The last thing before giving up was
to rebuild the history index files with "makehistory -r -s <size>". After
that, expire took again about 10 min...
