Let's all try to maintain some focus, OK? > Well - I now heard the SQL buzzword quite a bit ;-) - but whatever - No matter what angle I take on the register/make INDEX timing issues they are insignificant compared to potential gains in the "single vs. Parallel" builds scenario - even with my UP system - a total rebuild of the ports I had installed took way > 24 hours of which the time used in "register" etc was and are only a fraction In my view ports should be self contained within the FreeBSD system - Focusing on The on-disk format seems to be the wrong angle on the issue - The current structure Works well - but it has a number of drawbacks - however it no way clear whether that The answer is another INDEX/storage structure
