Where as, each of the pair of checksums seems to take more than a second. I *think*, inferring from the output rate, that the SHA1 is fast, and the RMD160 is what's taking more than a second for each file. > > Why is this? This can't be an insurmountable issue, can it? Is your pkgsrc tree up-to-date? Otherwise the lack of this change may explain it: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2012/10/13/msg079664.html -- Julio Merino / @jmmv
