Maybe that's a stupid idea, but I wonder whether removing empty
PROVIDE files from the vardb could save some time here. I see
that in grabfile(), if the file can't be opened, then an empty
list is returned, so it would have the same behavior. Does
reading an empty file takes more time than failing to open a
non-existing one? (Yep, I don't know much about how filesystems
actually work...)
