Wild guess: "nix-env -i" has to read the *whole* Nix expression to get the `name' attributes (e.g., `all-packages.nix' plus all imported Nix expressions), while "nix-env -Ai" could in theory just read `all-packages.nix' and only lazily read the required imported Nix expressions. Does it make sense? Thanks, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
