I found out very quickly that inter-package linking is also quite efficient, as many files are heavily duplicated. Specially when one source package generates many binary ones, it copies some of the documentation files, such as the changelog, which can be quite long. A simple "hardlink -n /usr /var" on a test box here : Files: 69290 Linked: 2144 files Compared: 163199 files Saved: 40.47 MiB Duration: 159.29 seconds Ouch: 1 sec per 1000 files.
