[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Won't new Auto-Vaccum feature in RPM be seen as a major performance regression by some users? (Discussion #3520)

[AnonymousCoward128746]

I agree that  `--rebuilddb` would be good practice, I just don't think it's _common_ practice or widely known.

As for "HDs are slow and that's just the way it is", I raised this issue because I was already suffering. and the delay of an intermittent rebuild is actually much worse. 

My suspicion is that few if any users (of the shrinking population that still uses HDDs) will be sufficiently observant to notice a sporadic slowdown of that appears perhaps only days after they automatically upgrade the rpm package. It's very easy to just rationalize this kind of intermittent slowness away, and it may indeed hurt UX without you hearing about it for a long time. 

Do you have anything in place to collect telemetry about how frequently this triggers for end users, if only from some volunter beta testers? or your fine selves?
