Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.16.1.2ubuntu7 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/dpkg-vendor
Dear Maintainer, dpkg-vendor is small useful program that is used by different other programs. It should be fast, but actually is quite slow. 'dpkg-vendor --query Vendor' takes 40 ms on a recent fast machine (Core i5-2400S) with a hot cache and 230 ms on an Intel Atom netbook. As comparision, the Python version of distro-info took 28 ms, the Haskell version 2.5 ms and the final C version only 0.7 ms on the recent fast machine. distro-info probably has a similar complexity as dpkg-vendor and therefore dpkg-vendor should be faster. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
