Comment (by pulkomandy):
In addition to that, the icons are currently extracted each as a single
file, which wastes a lot of disk space (at least an inode and a data block
must be allocated for each file, and HVIF icons are very small files so
they will typically not fill one full block of disk data).
I would consider a different storage format for the cache. Maybe an
archived BMessage? We could more efficiently store the data as key/value
pairs there (key being the package name, and value the hvif icon data).
