I have switched to V2 some time ago, and there are two things I don't
like about it:
- Big memory footprint, especially when downloading big
packages. There seems to be a correlation between the size of the
package and the memory consumed by apt-proxy, which is really bad
for things like OOo.
- Generally high CPU consumption
other than that, I think it's very nice.
