One thing I've noticed along these lines is that a lot of the "setting
up phase" time is taken up with running 'ldconfig' each time a library
package is installed.  I think this could be optimized a lot by running
'ldconfig' only once per install session, after all library packages (or
a dependency-based batch of them are installed.  Anyone see any problems
with this?
