Subject: Why is rpm -qa | grep openoffice.org2 soooo slow?
I repeat... Why is rpm -qa | grep openoffice.org2 soooo slow?
It eventually turns out some output, but it takes the better part of a
couple of minutes (very subjective, but I managed to talk to my wife
about something and then type this email and it still isn't finished, so
it's a reasonable amount of time.) Actually a couple of minutes is
bloody generous.
After waiting so long i decided to do a real test, so here it is...
[rodd@localhost database]$ time rpm -qa | grep openoffice.org2
openoffice.org2-impress-1.9.77-1
openoffice.org2-core-1.9.77-1
openoffice.org2-xsltfilter-1.9.77-1
openoffice.org2-writer-1.9.77-1
openoffice.org2-graphicfilter-1.9.77-1
real 6m28.496s
user 0m3.070s
sys 0m0.559s

What kind of system are you using? What type of CPU? Speed? Amount of
memory? Type and speed of disk?
