It's primarily disk space and IO load issues. The community repo and AUR are fairly large. A cron job which WAS keeping the AUR's permissions in check was actually pegging our system with so much load that we had to remove any handling of the AUR files (hope the code is good enough for that). The AUR backend daemon opens every single package file (wtf?) when it runs, which is a HUGE resource hog. In an ideal world, someone would rewrite this to work the same way the offical repos work - with repo-add and a separate decoupled script to load the mysql database from a pacman DB. Sizes on disk: community: 11G extra: 11G core: 330M unsupported: 800M
