It was interesting to test and implement in order to find out how extended attributes work. Not everything implemented has to be something that would actually become something users would use or even usable in the general sense.

Please tell me this is an elaborate hoax.

Awesome! I'm so glad that you implemented and tested this, since it's the same as an idea I had a while back.

Profiling sounds like a great idea. Might be that the performance would out-do current if a bug or few get fixed.

How's the cold-cache comparison? I'd expect that accessing half the number of files (ebuild only instead of cache+ebuild) doesn't improve performance.
