Hi Patrick. Since this bug was filed, important change was made in libcupt-perl 1.1.0: caching of parsed version entries. And this caching is turned on when you calls 'shell' subcommand. So, to receive quick search, one has to launch cupt shell, and then first search will be slow, but all subsequent will be quick, as the versions cache is preserved between read-only operations.
Do you consider this ability enough to close the bug? -- Eugene V. Lyubimkin aka JackYF, JID: jackyf.devel(maildog)gmail.com C++/Perl developer, Debian Developer
