@uralt sorry for late reply, just did not receive your message, just the
status change...

i'm not sure what you want from me. when i run my regular weekly apt
full-upgrade i've noticed that when the list of services that need
restart is longer than say two lines in a terminal the subsequent wait
starts to be noticeable. i would almost guess that maybe the
implementation has an O(N^2) dependency...? sometimes when the list is
like 5 lines long then we are talking minutes, which for a simple update
is very unusual...

Title:
  lately needrestart takes an awful lot of time

Status in needrestart package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  lately needrestart drastically slowed down any apt upgrades or
  installs. this was not the case before. checking the package, it
  greatly surprised me that this presumably mission-critical piece of
  code is written in perl and not in c/c++.
