Yeh, I write test program by referencing apt/ftparchive/contents.cc.
This new code can generates contents database around 60-70 sec, and
filesize will be ~2MB. (from potato/Contents-i386.gz and
potato/non-US/Contents-i386.gz, 350252 files).
It's quite fast to lookup entry. (maybe ~10msec)
I put this code at http://www.debian.org/~ukai/auto-apt/experimental/
I'm now integrating this new code to auto-apt.
Thanks,
