I'm not sure if the improvement of several seconds would be worth it. Did you do any benchmarks?

Other points waiting for improvements might be the detection of installed packages (for the switch between FOSS and SUNW) in foss-depend-packages.inc, since pkginfo does take some time. I can imagine we could replace it with the check based on build number or perhaps presence of particular file in the system. But again there are no measurements regarding potential savings. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
