Not that much packages installed after fress install
That is, on your fresh b133 install from livecd, the
first package install "pkg install diagnostic/wireshark"
is already slow in the post install phase (slow: more
than 10 minutes) ?
well, it was not the first package I installed on my fresh install, but
it was the first time I installed THIS package.
What process size is listed by prstat or top for
the "pkg" process during the post install phase?
(In top I observe 180M during the install phase,
and 390M post install, on a fresh b133 install,
when I install wireshark as the first package)
I did not check but I suspect the same figures more or less from what I
saw on other packages I installed.
As a matter of fact I had also thunderbird+firefox so the memory usage
was a bit high. I just retried it now without any other "heavy app"
other than X+gnome, and it went much much faster (7-8mn)
I noticed as well that arc cache was much lower than the last time
(<100M vs >180M). I suspect an interaction between pkg memory
consumption and zfs arc_cache.
