mhh. I have one myself and never had such problems.
(gta2v5 unfixed - no special tricks, mostly plain install.sh debian)
Into the blue: Do you have a swap file?
Which software powers your brick?
Is your mircosd card okay?
My neo hardly needs 20 minutes for an "update" and i have pdiffs
enabled… e.g. in my recent run in which ~ 15 pdiffs were applied:
Es wurden 2.325kB in 6Min 59s geholt (5.545B/s)
IO is really the bottleneck (you can see this in every rred run - they stuck
quite a bit at 0 and at the end) loading and saving 30 MB in the
sid Packages case is a bit to much to be done immediately but it should
really be (much) faster than an hour…
Best regards,
David Kalnischkies
