Yes, well known,. by design it does not install packages in a transaction but one by one and this is why it is so slow. it has improved enormously since it came about but this particular issue has never been addressed. This was not a big deal back then because 15 fyears ago there was no off the shelf, cheap and extremely fast SSD/NVME drives. It was going to be slow and have an I/O bottleneck anyway. Now we have Zen CPUs and mind-numbingly fast drives and software needs to keep up.
