Pacman very slow
Hello,
since about a month I feel, that pacman gets very slow. It takes almost 3 minutes for an update. The package lists are downloaded directly but then you have to wait, even if there aren't no updates or no new package lists.
Additionally, if I do a pacman -Qs it seems that every package is from local, but it is not.
A pacman-optimize didn't bring any effect.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance

IIRC -Qs searches only local.

IIRC -Qs searches only local.
-Qs searches all, -Qm searches only local.
-Qm shows me only a few, those which are really local.
-Qs shows me all my 500 packages, but all marked as local.

Re: Pacman very slow
Strange thing that -Syyu is faster, but a) it shouldn't and b) it's not the preferred way.
I also don't prefer to take pacman-cage.
So I think this is a bug, am I right?

You need to do a "man pacman".

Re: Pacman very slow
And to clarify what has happened. Only the needed files are extracted in the repo update. That speeds that part up a lot. Unfortunately, that means that the system now does not have the now unextracted files cached and so it has to read them. We are fixing this.
