It's fast, but it's not _that_ fast. The speed of rebuilding depends how many libraries you have installed, and scalability was my first design goal. (The time taken to do the rebuild is O(N) in theory, but likely slightly worse in practice because of the page cache.) > It needs to happen as root. > > Though, I wonder if per-session databases might not be a better idea. > Andrew? It's a bad idea IMO. The libraries that are installed are global on the system, and the database should be too. The database is in memory that's shared between all processes, and for that to be secure only root has write access to it. There's no reason not to have per-session databases in some special applications, but it is *not* a good choice for a default policy. Andrew.
