I attached some speedtest results; I hope that this is not offtopic here. As I see, this is clearly what I predicted (except: ldconfig is much faster than I remembered):
Hm, did you try when installing or removing a package with shared libs?
PS: As I wrote in the subject, analyzing pacman's speed would be much easier if debug printed timestamps to log (on request?). What do you think about this? If you like it, I will create a patch (~0 effort work.)
Does that mean replacing the hour by the time elapsed since pacman start? That is, just relative instead of absolute values?
[root@Arch sync]# find -type d | wc -l 4139
pacman -Sl ?

Maybe you forgot what your UPGRADERM patch was for? ;)
