Hm, there is something wrong with your time command:

Wakko{jgg}~/work/deity/build/clients/cmdline#time dpkg-cache add cache
~/work/Packages.hamm:hamm:1.0 /var/lib/dpkg/status:status:1.0
/home/jgg/work/Packages.hamm:hamm:1.0
/var/lib/dpkg/status:status:1.0
1619 Packages, 1361 Versions, 3392 Dependancies.

real    0m5.894s
user    0m2.640s
sys     0m0.510s  

Cyrix P166+ 32M ram. This shows the big lag is IO, user processing time is
only at 2.5 seconds. This is because I sync the cache file before the
program exits, that could likely be changed.

Someday someone will have to run gprof on it :>

Thanks,
