I noticed that ports are very slow lately, what I realized is that the pkg_* tools on my machine spend a huge amount of time walking the /var/db/pkg/* files stat(2)'ing them and doing other operations. This gets really slow when one has 500+ packages installed. Is there any reason it's donig all this work? Any ideas on how it could be avoided? -- - Alfred Perlstein - Research Engineering Development Inc. - email: bright@mu.org cell: 408-480-4684
