Steps to reproduce

Create an environment like this:

spack:
  view: true
  concretization: together
  specs:
  - clingo@spack
  - py-ipython
  - py-boto3
  - [email protected]:4.1.1
  - py-sphinxcontrib-programoutput
  - py-sphinx-rtd-theme
  - py-python-levenshtein

and run spack install. The view takes more than 10 seconds to create.

When adding a new spec, and rerunning spack install, it takes as much time.

Also somehow I'm ending up with a bunch of files of the form [name]~ in my path, like pybabel~.

@adamjstewart is reporting the same. ping @becker33
