Hi,
I have just create(d/ not finished yet, started 15 minutes ago) a ~2.5
GB rpm and found, that rpmbuild is an extrem bottleneck.
IMHO, this is caused by a fileread function which reads files in 32k
blocks, which is very slow and extrem IO intensive. The result is a
task running at 1 core at 100% perma. With changes to larger chunks, we
can speed up so many build tasks on the farm.
Multicore use would also be helpful i.e. while packing the files.
Any counter-arguments ?
strace example:

and I don't think, this tasks needs to read the clock that often too.
