Comment (by jhpalmieri):
By the way, running `sage --info gcc` is faster on my machine if the spkg
is ''not'' present: downloading the `SPKG.txt` file is quicker than
untarring to extract the single file (about half a second vs. seven
seconds). This is from my office at the university where I have a good
internet connection, of course.
If we thought that lots of people were using `sage --info ...`, we should
look for ways to speed up this operation. My guess is that it's not used
very much, though, so we shouldn't worry about it.
