That I assume was local disk, right ?

Yup. But http over the network isn't that different.


# ptime pkg install SUNWzsh

Did this needed to transfer over the network or was it a local repo ?

Typed just as is. So that's pulling it over the network. But that's what
you're
supposed to do, right? It's not like there are other reasonable options.

I've just tried that at work, and it was about 34s. Then from cache
it's about 8s.
Better, but not brilliant. And the real test is the uncached time, as
that's what most
users will see.


True, but then you should include the time to download the SVR4 package if
you want a comparable test. On disk format is coming in the future, it's not
here yet.

ptime wget http://.../SUNWzsh.pkg

real        0.109
user        0.002
sys         0.007

At home over ADSL it's between 1 and 2s. That's seconds, not minutes.

What will this "on-disk format" look like?

No idea. As I said, it's coming in the future. It's not an area that I've put much thought into, though I believe some have.
