bug#44053: Poor profile generation performance on spinning disks

Shall we go ahead and close this bug report? I do not recall a recent time that someone complained about Guix System's slow profile generation on hard drives. I currently use guix system on an SSD...but I could install Guix on a Dell Optiplex 7010 on a hard drive to test if you all would like.

bug#44053: Poor profile generation performance on spinning disks

I've never used SDDs, so I've been experiencing this since I installed Guix (~5 years ago). And yes, building the profile seems to be the more resource intensive operation. I usually can't do anything else while that happens because the computer becomes unresponsive. Running the same command

Hello! I've noticed on multiple occasions that using Guix on traditional spinning drives can be quite slow. On my home machine, will is still relying on 2 x 1 TB spinning drives in RAID1, rebuilding my user profile, which contains 182 entries, takes on average about 20 minutes, even when there
