On my system, which has a Western Digital Black SN850X NVMe (PCIe 4) formatted ext4, dpkg runs really fast (and feels like it runs faster than it did a few years ago on similar hardware). There has been much talk on this list about performance penalties with dpkg’s current configuration, and some requests for actual benchmark data showing those performance penalties. So far, nobody has produced any numbers showing that those penalties exist or how significant they are. As I don’t experience anything I could describe as a performance problem on any of my systems, I think the burden of proof is on those who are experiencing those problems to demonstrate them concretely before we need to spend effort trying to figure out what changes should be made to address them. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
