Hehe, but you're thinking in terms of today's rpm. Discussing
stuff
with Jeff at the FOSDEM this week-end, he already has a way of dealing
with this well known limitation, which (from what I've understood) would
basically be a "pre everything" approach. A similar "post
everything"
approach and a little magic could also nicely solve the icon caches,
mime types, menus etc. performance problems.
Well, the approach I posted was what happens *with* pre-transaction
syscalls, as they were implemented by Jeff. What needs to happen is
that the pre-transaction stuff needs to run before the transaction
is even computed, which makes it messy.
