Yes, as one of only 2 people who have worked on the resolver in recent |
| 7 |
history, I agree with your statement. There have been lots of features |
| 8 |
added (including EAPI 5 sub-slot rebuilds), with not much thought to |
| 9 |
performance tuning. It will be interesting to do some profiling and see |
| 10 |
what we can improve. |

If it takes a minute then it probably means that |
| 15 |
/var/cache/edb/vdb_metadata.pickle got deleted. In that case, it has to |

reload lots of metadata from /var/db/pkg/*/*/*. |
