It was worth a try, there were significant reductions for uutils/coreutils#10453 |

Any more updates on this? Also, just a curiosity, what does this exactly do? I am guessing it disables some kind of filesystem indexing, which can indeed help with perf, but stdarch is a small enough repo that it might not matter at the end of the day. |
