Yeah, correct. But it would be nice if Portage backtrack_depgraph()
would memoize (asynchronously serializing to disk, for instance)
partial results for later use.
AFAIR, last time I checked, it wasn't doing that.
Also, it would be nice if the aux_db cache of the vdb could be stored
in a sqlite3 db rather than in RAM. This dict is consuming a huge cut
of memory for little reason (a single vdb.dbapi.match() can eat 100MB
of RAM).
We know how Python deals with freed memory... Sigh...
