It seems dotslash would complement uv well

DotSlash to get the interpreter for your platform, and uv to get the dependencies.
Perfect for corporate setups with custom mirrors etc.

I see you use flags to determine if a file needs syncing. When we used fiemap within GNU cp we required FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC to get robust operation.
(We have since removed the fiemap code from cp, and replaced it with LSEEK_DATA, LSEEK_HOLE)

The benchmark is against unibyte text. You would get more accurate results by doing `export LC_ALL=C` in your benchmark script

(Hi Giuseppe!)
Right, the standard centos system binaries are used to provision services and manage hardware.
The internal services linking against the runtime libs you mention, are actually linking against about 2000 built from source packages, and are essentially a separate distro (with a distro in this sense being an ABI compatible set of libs running on a kernel)
