Well, in my opinion the Arch Linux package manager is fast enough, but that might be influenced the years I was using Gentoo (Portage & Paludis) which aren't even part of his benchmark... Edit: For clarification: I am referring to this benchmark https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2019-08-17-linux-package-managers-are-slow/ https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2019-08-17-linux-package... For those who are unaware, Portage and Paludis are both magnitudes slower than the other packages managers. However, the comparison is not completely fair, as they both where source based package managers in the beginning, which have to work a bit differently. Nevertheless, Paludis is still a lot slower when being used with binary packages as it doesn't take all the shortcuts the others take.
