However, a far more extensive problem is this change to the zstd parameters: `COMPRESSZST=(zstd -c -T0 --ultra -20 -)` On all servers and desktops with Arch, updates now take 10-20 times longer than before in the "Compressing package..." section. Setting the compression ultra level to 20, excuse the word, is something only a "fool" would do. Nowadays, disk space is not the issue, but the speed of production systems is. Do you conduct any stress tests before making such a crucial default parameter change? Of course, I will set the configuration according to my preferences, but these are the default parameters. Moreover, the given file overwrote the original file, without creating the standard `.pacnew`. Please consider and thoroughly test such future changes from a system performance perspective. This problem has taken up quite a bit of our time. Thank you for resolving it and, more importantly, avoiding such mistakes in the future. Thank you. # Additional info: * package version(s): >=6.0.2-9 * config and/or log files: /etc/makepkg.conf # Steps to reproduce: <!-- Describe how to reproduce the bug step by step including the commands --> Run AUR update...
