shadoop is really slow

[kaimast]

I am not sure what is causing this but the shadoop command is much much slower than then hadoop one.
Observed this on two different machines, with and without the hadoop cluster running.

An example program must be given as the first argument.
Valid program names are:

convexhull: Computes the convex hull of an input set of points
delaunay: Computes the Delaunay triangulation for a set of points
distcp: Copies a directory or file using a MapReduce job
dj: Computes the spatial join between two input files using the distributed join algorithm
farthestpair: Computes the farthest pair of point of an input set of points
generate: Generates a random file containing spatial data
gplot: Plots a file to an image
hadoopviz: Run Hadoopviz Server
hdfplot: Plots a heat map for a give NASA dataset
hdfx: Extracts data from a set of HDF files to text files
hplot: Plots a heat map to an image
index: Spatially index a file using a specific indexer
knn: Finds the k nearest neighbor in a file to a point
lakesplot: Plots lakes to SVG image
mbr: Finds the minimal bounding rectangle of an input file
mplot: Plot using ImageMagick
multihdfplot: Plots NASA datasets in the spatiotemporal range provided by user
oldindex: Spatially index a file using a specific indexer
rangequery: Finds all objects in the query range given by a rectangle
readfile: Retrieve some information about the index of a file
sample: Reads a random sample from the input file
shahedindexer: Creates a multilevel spatio-temporal indexer for NASA data
sjmr: Computes the spatial join between two input files using the SJMR algorithm
skyline: Computes the skyline of an input set of points
staggquery: Runs a spatio temporal aggregate query on HDF files
union: Computes the union of input shapes
uunion: Computes the union of input shapes using the UltimateUnion algorithm
vizserver: Starts a server that handles visualization requests

Usage: hadoop [--config confdir] [COMMAND | CLASSNAME]
CLASSNAME run the class named CLASSNAME
or
where COMMAND is one of:
fs run a generic filesystem user client
version print the version
jar run a jar file
note: please use "yarn jar" to launch
YARN applications, not this command.
checknative [-a|-h] check native hadoop and compression libraries availability
distcp copy file or directories recursively
archive -archiveName NAME -p * create a hadoop archive
classpath prints the class path needed to get the
credential interact with credential providers
Hadoop jar and the required libraries
daemonlog get/set the log level for each daemon
trace view and modify Hadoop tracing settings

Most commands print help when invoked w/o parameters.
