Please note that the change above addresses only one specific source of
slowness, the ‘xdg-mime-database’ hook, and only in specific cases.
It’s good to look at the overall timing of ‘guix install’, because
that’s what matters in the end, but as we work on optimizing it, we have
to look at specific aspects of it.

Here it’s likely that grafting is what’s taking the most time on a
spinning disk.
We should hack (guix status) so it can optionally prefix each event with
a timestamp.
As far as ‘xdg-mime-database’ is concerned, it should be down to 0s,
unless your profile contains one of the packages I cited (libreoffice,
gcr, hugin, etc.).
Thanks,
Ludo’.
