I tried to speed up
pixi global list. My first attempt was to not load all the prefix records, and instead infer name / version / build string from the ".json" filenames inconda-meta.However, this is not the only place where we are loading the PrefixRecords. We are also loading them to validate that environments are in sync. That now takes up the majority (>80%) of the time of
pixi global list.Short term: we should also have a "fast-in-sync" function that does not require loading all prefix records.
Long term: we should serialize PrefixRecords as msgpack and make parsing them really, really fast as this is slowing pixi down in multiple places (e.g.
pixi run, ...).
