It is actually way worse than 2x the number of forks- we now fork once per file *per line* in our .PKGINFO file, whereas before we only forked once per file. New patch incoming on the ML that should fork as many times as the old version, reducing that bottleneck a lot. -Dan _______________________________________________ pacman-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev
