Packing speed

With 2.4.2 I'm seeing *very* poor packing performance on my workstation.

The 2nd stage, where it does open/mmap/close/munmap on each of the
object files is processing only about 60 per socond.

Hundreds or even thousands per second seems like a reasonable
expectation, not mealy dozens.

Is my expectation wrong?
