One should profile ldconfig and see exactly what takes so much time. Building the symlink trees? Reading the directory tree (ext2 is a $#%@#$ for directories with many files)? Reading the information for the cache file? Something else? I don't see the point of building a strategy to try to minimize a problem which isn't determined exactly. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
