Also consider the fact that your pacman database is one of the least likely pieces of data to target for the sake of noticeably improving your computer's overall performance.
Yeah, I am aware of it. Hardware components tend to degrade over time, especially mechanical hard drive.
What part of "least likely pieces of *data*" was not obvious enough in its reference to *data*, such that you felt the need to conflate data with hardware? If you are agreeing with me ("Yeah, I am aware of it") then stop mentioning hardware. If you are arguing with me, then please explain what you actually meant to say and what it has to do with hardware. ... I am still pretty sure that whatever problem you may have, it is not pacman-specific and it doesn't require a pacman-specific tool. So while you might disagree with the political commentary invoked in that commit message, the general idea that the script is a waste of space is something I can get behind! -- Eli Schwartz
