I've written up a performance characterization of apt-file(1) as stands. The
preliminary version is available here:
http://nick-black.com/raptorial-file
I'd prefer you not show this around, as it's very preliminary, and all of
these numbers drastically change with raptorial-file. I'd like any feedback
people can provide regarding what appear to be broken regex searches in
apt-file(1), though -- see the third para of the first section.
Regarding raptorial-file(1), I'm expecting to have it done by tomorrow
morning, as planned. I need address bug 705 first:
https://www.sprezzatech.com/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=705
as without this, I don't beat apt-file(1) for typical searches on a
multicore machine, and we effectively tie on a single-core. For atypical
searches or multiple searches, I'm wasting apt-file(1) on both uni- and
multicores already, but I'd rather win on the common case :).
You can see a list of all Raptorial bugs here:

I'll send around numbers for raptorial-file(1) as soon as I have them. I've
been verifying at each step that performance of rapt-show-versions(1) is
unaffected by the changes I'm making, but will include those as well, for
completeness.
Hack on!

btw, if y'all feel it appropriate to make me a member of the APT team,
please feel free to do so at your convenience.
