Lots of people have gone ZOMG over the stat()'s. That's not where the time is
spent, it's spent on database hits and verifying fetched headers and whatnot.
BDB performance can degrade badly over time, --rebuilddb can make a *huge*
difference to performance, and also --nosignature --nodigest (just to reduce
processing).
As for having to stat around for `lib`, rpm is looking for paths that may be
identical to that and also provide the same thing. This is known as
fingerprinting, and without that eg /usr merge would not have been possible.
Finally, nothing, I mean *zero*, is going to be done to rpm 4.11 at this point.
