However, I was able to increase the performance of package-depends by 20 to 30 percent, by avoiding recursive make calls and moving the recursion into the stack of the shell invocation. With my changes there's less than 10% overhead over the sum of make calls. I.e. for 56 seconds of make calls (x11/xorg on my system) there are only 4 more seconds of processing, instead of 15 to 20 seconds. The original make package-depends does some things I don't understand. Once I've figured them out I will post my little patch here.
