xbps-repo find-files 'something' takes about 30 minutes to complete on my machine

Yes, it is slow when remote repositories are checked in... due to fetching data from network. It's much faster if used with local repositories or when binary packages are in cachedir.

The plan is to create a plist file to cache all files from a repository; this would speed up the process marginally.

I'll try to implement it for 0.12.
