Re:Much faster incremental apt updates by julian-klode on Monday December 28, 2015 @06:57PM (#10804242)
FindGrp() is somewhat slow as we do not store the untruncated hash value in the groups, so we have to compare all strings (well, we order them on insertion, but it's still 2 to 3 on the average - an average 3 integer comparisons would be nicer).

But fixing that requires an ABI break, so it has to wait for a chance. Like in a year or something.
