I agree 100%. The current backend isn't *totally useless*. Sure it has it's share of problems, but it can be improved without the use of massive amounts of cache files as suggested above. The only potential cache I thought of using, would be a cache of names and descriptions for each repo... call it a "search cache". However, that'd only speed up searching. The real solution is to change / tweak the actual implementation on disk. Perhaps I'll take the nod from VMiklos and actually change all the package functions tonight, as it appears it's a much larger improvement (and thus much more valuable) than I expected.
