I have no idea whether or not this Change would add significantly to package build times in practice. It’s a good question. I think answering it would require benchmarks rather than asymptotic reasoning, though. There are plenty of things in an RPM build that already inherently take O(N) time in the number of files or the total size of the files, even ignoring %build and %install. Consider that a typical BRP (Buildroot Policy) script starts with:

    find "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" -type f -print0 | …

and that the entire file contents of each RPM must be compressed.

O(1) -> O(N), where N is the number of files in the RPM package.
