I'd very much like to see results from a pkgng system with an equivalent number and types of packages and that has been maintained for a similar amount of time. But I think that's impossible: Ronald's machine almost certainly predates the availability of pkgng. Obviously the script would have to be modified, as you'll need to do a DB query to get all the checksums, rather than reading +CONTENTS files. Plus this shouldn't be a system that was converted to pkgng but that has used pkgng from the start. One of the big drivers for switching to using sqlite in pkgng rather than a collection of files is that it does give better protection against accidental corruption of package meta-data during normal package updates.
