Increasing the speed of partman by less than 50% is not going to yield a difference that is percievable to humans. "slow" == "slow". > There are two implementable ideas that avoid fork+exec without requiring > a near-total re-implementation: non-literal variables, and 'read'. I mentioned a third one, that's easier to implement and test than either of those (only needs a small modification to busybox, which already has an option that does something very similar). Once someone has actually implemented and tested it, or any other optimisation idea against the actual code, and has actual numbers, we could think about actually applying that optimisation. -- see shy jo
