This has been fixed in dpkg 1.15.6 and later.
* Use FIEMAP when available (on Linux based systems) to sort the .list
files loading order. With a cold cache it improves up to a 70%.
Thanks to Morten Hustveit <[email protected]>.
* When FIEMAP is not available use posix_fadvise() to start preloading the
.list files before loading them. With a cold cache it improves up to 40%.
Thanks to Stefan Fritsch <[email protected]>. Closes: #557560
