This is not scalable. Both in theory, and clearly not in practice, either.
I thought pkg was supposed to use some kind of internal "database" ?
Cross-referencing with the manpage, I guess it only uses one for
*search*, but not for actual pkg operation?
This is backwards. Priority should be on speed of normal operation, not
on esoteric searches.
Again, pkg(5) is not a tarball extractor, and never will be.
The design of pkg(5) has often chosen correctness and user experience
over performance where it matters.
Flawed comparisons with systems that do not have equivalent
functionality or correctness guarantees can only lead to tears.
