The slowness occurs because a database query uses an index to select all files installed by the port currently being processed and then continues to scan over this list for a specific entry. Obviously, for ports that install less than, let's say, a thousand files, this causes the database software to do a scan across 1000 items 1000 times (once for each file we're activating). Of course now with boost, which installs some 35k files, that's 35k^2. You see where this is going… -- Clemens Lang _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
