But most don“t. Plus keep in mind the IPS overhead at install-time.
Even given the automatic deps resolution of everything without
requiring user-interaction.

The overheads involved in IPS are much more a function of the number of
packages installed on the machine, rather than the number of packages
being installed.

In any case, those overheads are dropping steadily, and should not
influence package factoring decisions.
