Now the fact that fixpackages is so slow is because to update this information the .tbz2 needs to be uncompressed, then the information can be updated and then it needs to be recompressed. This takes some time for 1 or 2 GB of data. I'm currently trying to optimize the code a bit, but I think for a dramatic improvement we would have to drop the current .tbz2 format (so we can save the uncompress-recompress steps) itself which is unlikely to happen anytime soon.
I would have thought only the uncompressed tbz2-specific tail has to changed, not the tbz part. Do I miss anything here?
