Description
I opened a Debian Jessie netinst ISO (about 320MiB in size). xorriso was on the system and it took about 20 seconds to display the contents. Remove xorriso from the system and isoinfo displays them almost instantaneously.
This happened with versions 4.8.13 and 4.8.15. Please see Debian bug #805495

I am the author of xorriso.
Please consider to augment the xorriso adapter by the broker script
http://libburnia-project.org/browser/libisoburn/trunk/frontend/xorriso_broker.sh?format=txt
which i propose in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=805495#34
It is supposed to solve the performance problems by employing a concurrent
xorriso process in dialog mode. BSD license. You are invited to copy and
adapt it.
Three issues remain to be solved in mc:
- An ID string is needed per mc instance which selects the xorriso process to use.
- The mc user should have an opportunity to send command "-commit" through the broker script which will cause writing of pending changes to the ISO filesystem.
- mc should send an "-end" command through the broker to the xorriso process immediately before mc ends itself.
I also propose to remove the "stdio:" prefixes from the ISO filesystem address.
This will enable operation on optical drives with CD, DVD, and BD media.
Ask me if you have any questions.
