cache expensive exchange dir scanning #23

Open stapelberg opened 5 years ago

stapelberg commented 5 years ago

Currently, when having enough packages, scanning them when the file system is mounted takes a considerable amount of time (small number of seconds).

We should profile first to see if there are any low-hanging fruit that can be addressed regardless of caching. (done)

Since packages don’t change (but the list of exchange dirs might!), we should be able to very effectively cache these scans, though.
