I use guix 1.3, and a simple guix install takes forever. It hangs 2-10
minutes in the profile build phase.
I have a NVME drive, and see 10-80 MB/sec IO Write in this timeframe.
In the terminal I see: "building profile with 159 packages..."
Then I have to wait 5 minutes.
I assume it hard-linking of packages because I use ext4.
this behavior is machine specific. On the machines that are affected it
occurs pretty consistent. But there are exceptions; when I install
a very small new package, the build time sometimes is in the 30 second
range. But typically it takes 5 minutes.

So it’s really this “building profile” part that takes 5mn, right?
Could you share the output of ‘guix package --export-manifest’ (or ‘guix
package -I’)? You can share it privately if you prefer not to make it
public.
On a 5yo SSD, and with 300+ packages in my profile, this part usually
takes a few seconds. But it could be that for some packages, in
particular packages with lots of propagated inputs, this operation takes
longer.
Thanks,
Ludo’.

I use not only guix chan, but nonguix (for the binary build system and for
clojure-tools)
gorilla (for babashka as binary build; I also use it for vs-codium, but
this is currently broken due
to core update merge) I dont think I use repos from guix-science in this
profile.

With the merge of core-update-frozen this issue went away. :-)
I hope it does not reappear.

Hey all,
I've been having this problem, too. Maybe since I had mentioned it several
times on IRC, this conversation was sent to me per dm for my answer to it
from another user. My conclusion after some testing around has been, that
it was most definitely icon theme packages causing the lag. (which has
made me able to avoid it better). And this is still around for me, even
after c-u-f:
Installing a profile using the appended manifest with two icon themes on my
thinkpad x230 will take several minutes, unforseen for any other profile
of two packages that i have installed for now (obviously it goes fluently
except for the profile building part). I haven't measured anything, bc I
think it's pretty obvious once you try out, and i'm not sure how to
measure the profile building phase, but I'll happily send some
measurements, if you have suggestions.
