That is actually not very i/o intensive since the compilation cpu time is large. > linux-7.2.3.tar.xz > 100%[========================================== > ===========>] 152.64M 7.66MB/s in 53s > > 2026-09-04 04:17:04 (2.90 MB/s) - 'linux-7.2.3.tar.xz' saved [160060344/ > 160060344] > > loshmi@debian:/mnt/stress/test$ tar -xf linux-7.2.3.tar.xz That is more heavy indeed. But large upgrades, such as texlive-full, can take way more room with a myriad of files. Samuel
