Control: tags 519906 + wontfix Hi,
There are other bug reports where the speed issues are already recorded. On the matter of MySQL itself, it would be a bad idea for several reasons, including Daniel Burrows's and Axel's reasons. Actually, old and embedded systems lack memory more than CPU, so adding a half-full RDBMS into the mix would probably hurt performance even more. (The situation might have been a bit different in 2009, but still). And it would be a huge problem to tie aptitude's future to MySQL, because many people will say "we want a minimal set of dependencies for important packages, or to have minimal systems (think VMs)". I suspect that the usage of aptitude would drop significantly if people see that aptitude needs MySQL to run. So marking the bug as wontfix at the moment. Cheers. -- Manuel A.
