@monotux it's not just slow, it's unusable at this point.
Anyway, the script goes a little further than just a list of packages. It makes sure you have your dependency tree sane.

Gather facts disabled, explicit python interpreter path, control master for persistent ssh connection, disabled the package cache update: it still takes 22 seconds to execute zero change for syncing one file and checking the presence of a package. A simple equivalent ssh command, 490 ms.

It reports inconsistencies between your requested packages list and what's actually on the system.
The list can contain inline comments and group packages.
Basically, a declarative Archlinux packages helper. Anyone interested?
PS : I have a bug to report in pacman and I'm unable to get an account on the gitlab (they didn't reply to my mail).
