translations.sty takes extremely long to process #272

Hi, after reinstalling my Linux, I'm now using

pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (TeX Live 2022/Debian)

with acro 3.8. I'm actually mostly using lualatex. I'm using the acro package settings

\acsetup{language = english,list/template = longtable,cite/group = true}

together with around 200 acronyms in a mid-size LaTeX beamer document.

For some reason, the change to my new Linux installation (with an updated acro) now leads to very long compilation times. Both TeX engines halt for about 4-5 minutes at

(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/acro/acro.sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/translations/translations.sty))

only for then to continue as usual. The resulting document looks fine, acro itself is not complaining and no other errors or warnings related to my use of acro appear.

I've introduced language=english above in the hope that the override of auto solves the problem but that didn't work.

Before the Linux re-installation, translations.sty took quite long as well (maybe 15-20 secs), but it was still bearable. Is this a known issue and/or is there anything that I can do? Thank you for any further hints.
