Maybe that's a stupid idea, but I wonder whether removing empty PROVIDE files from the vardb could save some time here. I see that in grabfile(), if the file can't be opened, then an empty list is returned, so it would have the same behavior. Does reading an empty file takes more time than failing to open a non-existing one? (Yep, I don't know much about how filesystems actually work...) -- TGL. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
