Well, I have not benchmarked to see if it is linear, quadratic; or worse or better. > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [...] > building XDG MIME database... > successfully built > /gnu/store/cir84qj587i6is4akgqand7ahg9bj938-xdg-mime-database.drv > successfully built > /gnu/store/cir84qj587i6is4akgqand7ahg9bj938-xdg-mime-database.drv > /gnu/store/j0bznlj2ibnhirijhnwpkkxzz4qfk8wb-xdg-mime-database > > real 1m7.344s > user 0m1.331s > sys 0m0.053s > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Well, it is all clear to me, but I do not know if we can do better because these 2 XDG updates seem relying on the external binaries "/bin/update-desktop-database" and "/bin/update-mime-database".
