If "more packages in repo" degrades install time, even when the client

of IPS mechanisms somewhere.

More packages in the repository will cause a small increase in planning time because there are more possible versions to evaluate, I don't see how that's avoidable. With that said, only for repositories with 70,000+ unique package versions has that difference started to be noticeable in the past and only at 100,000+ was it "significant".


huh. well thats good news I guess. But then that seems to leaves the culprit to be
a) SSL transport+t5220
and/or
b) the front end proxying

And given that faster systems dont seem to have problems going through the same proxy, it wouldnt seem to be the proxy that's the problem.

PS: I looked at that dtrace script and tried it out, but it wasnt useful. It only reported use of "stat.py" or something like that. no other python function.
So, I'm lost there.
