Although conda is also getting slower and slower, and now routinely spends 5-20 minutes on dependency resolution even for trivial environments.
Edit: correction, there are two examples that take longer, one at 3.5 minutes, one around 8 minutes. I don’t think it changes any takeaways though.
It’s funny to me that you would expect operations involving “conda install anaconda” to be fast though. 11 minutes seems perfectly fast for that and would be comparable to pip or anything else if doing that huge of a set of package installs.
That is not at all a “trivial environment” like you said previously.
