Package: apt-xapian-index Version: 0.45 Cataloged_times is simply a Python dictionary object. Other serialisation methods are faster than pickle at handling simple data types like this. On my low powered atom Netbook this file takes 1.4 seconds to load. When I use the same data with the msgpack python module it takes only 0.1 seconds. Also the filesize is reduced from 3.1MB to 1.7MB.
This might not seem like a huge deal but on older/atom/arm based PC's all these little times add up. My proposal is that the pickle serialisation in cataloged_times.py be replaced with the offerings from the msgpack module. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
