On reflection, I think speed increases in that area are going to have to be gained by C optimisation of the inner loop of partman (debconf_select, maybe ask_user).

You're right that memory savings are worth it. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
