I have no idea whether or not this Change would add significantly to
package build times in practice. It’s a good question. I think answering
it would require benchmarks rather than asymptotic reasoning, though.
There are plenty of things in an RPM build that already inherently take
O(N) time in the number of files or the total size of the files, even
ignoring %build and %install. Consider that a typical BRP (Buildroot
Policy) script starts with:
find "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" -type f -print0 | …
and that the entire file contents of each RPM must be compressed.

I wonder, does this have measurable effect on the time it takes to
build a package?
O(1) -> O(N), where N is the number of files in the RPM package.
