HI Rajesh.
If I understand your email correctly, the performance improvement to
which you refer comes from using pdo instead of the patchadd script for
dependency checking.
Specifying -t to patchadd will bypass any performance improvement which
would have come by using pdo for dependency checking, since it defers
checking to the patchadd script.
Specifying -a will check patch dependencies but won't install anything.
Please let me know if this doesn't answer your question or if you have
other questions.
Thanks,
Jack
