Ok, I'll try to reproduce with as few packages as I can. I'm working on a script to test performance of only the "building profile" stage with various numbers of packages. I use an relatively new NVME SSD from Samsung. I got it a couple years ago. I'll have to check back on its read/write performance, I don't remember the model number. I'm sorry for taking a while to respond, I've been on vacation for the last week and haven't been checking my email.
Also, I know my email says it was sent from "Hazel Cooney" but I don't go by that name anymore. I would prefer it if you called me Evan.
