    Going back to this particular comment, has anybody really looked 
into the speed of mtree(3)? That was the next stop that I planned on 
looking at after I make my changes, in terms of fchown(2) and friends.
    Also, were the bottlenecks seen in pkg_delete and pkg_add, or does 
it appear to be distributed across the board?
Thanks,
