fakeroot make a table of function pointers for many file manipulation
calls, like open(), close(), chmod() and etc -> overhead, slowdowns
(small of course)
During the build process file perms are not necessary to be "tracked",
or at least in 99% of packages. Only during the install process is only
needed.
