Hmm, so it seems that repacking would be a quite mandatory thing to do
once in a while. Is that what you are saying?
Kinda strange, I do not think other fss need it that bad, but running it
from cron.monthly would suffice.

How much time does repacking take? I know it takes a lot of factors, but
aproximately how much?

During repacking is the system usable, i mean: can i start repacking and
then continue hacking/writing/playing or whatever i am doing on the
computer?
