Hi Arun!
Arun Isaac <arunisaac@systemreboot.net> skribis:

The initial goal was for ‘fold-available-packages’ to be lightweight.
Currently, it doesn’t allocate anything; instead, it passes info as
keyword parameters, which the callee is free to ignore. That’s why
these two procedures have different signatures.
One benchmark is “guix package -A > /dev/null”. This should take
ideally 0.5s at most because that’s what’s used by shell completion (the
first time); currently it takes 0.82s on my laptop, though.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
