PS: Resolvedeps is still dummy, because pulling a new package to the *list may break an earlier verified dependency of a pkg in the *list (because the new package will overwrite something in the localdb!). The best (but much slower) solution is to call depcheck with the *list parameter (plus syncpkg).

I think it's always important to worry about getting clean and correct code first, and then worry about performance later (while trying to keep the first two properties ;)). In any cases, it would be interesting to have a pactest for this, and also possibly a fix, which will probably only causes a negligible slowdown anyway.
