I've certainly been tempted to take a stab at at least replacing the

Yup. When Rob was making noise about rewriting dejagnu I tried to steer him a bit towards instead replacing the expect layer, but his plans where more on the tcl/dejagnu side. I don't think anything ever came out of that proposal.

Expect is severe overkill for what we need and yes, it burns an amazing about of CPU time for what get out of it.
