Yes, I had seen that. But there's a difference between taking much more
time and slowing down to such an extend that it never finishes.
I've tried it today on my linux-2.6 repo as well and the same thing
happened. At first the progress is not fast but reasonable. When it gets
to about 45% percent it starts slowing down a lot: from ~1500 objects per
update of the counters to ~300 objects per update. And who knows what the
progress is going to be when it reaches 70% or 90%: 10 per update?
With a total of over 2 milion objects in the repository such a low speed is
simply not going to work, ever. So I maintain that it is effectively
unusable.
Cheers,
FJP
