Use the new _alpm_for_each_cpu() API to perform integrity checks in parallel. This speeds up integrity checks drastically on multi-core machines. ---
Have you thought about / looked at doing integrity checks in the background as individual packages finish downloading?
No, but now that I think about it that's obviously a good idea. But integrity checks may still need to happen where they do now, for example if the packages were previously downloaded and are now being installed. Although there's no reason the integrity checks couldn't happen in the background while the we're waiting for the user to confirm the installation. -- Tavian Barnes
