Is there a way for pca to read the uname/showrev/pkginfo data from stdin instead of from a file?
No, there isn't.
I can make 500 /tmp/hostname dir and have the pca read it from each of those /tmp/hostname files. But it would be lot faster if I could feed that data directly to pca through stdin.
I'm not sure whether this would really speed things up. Creating the files in a tmpfs and reading from them should not be a lot of overhead, compared to the time pca itself needs for the analysis.
