Apt has been painfully slow since I started using Debian last millennium, but I suspect it's not because it uses a lot of CPU, or it would be snappy by now.

It parses formats and does TLS, I’m assuming it’d be quite bad. I don’t think you can mix and match.

        In normal operation, apt has to be able to upgrade the kernel, the bootloader, and libc, so it can't usefully be sandboxed except for testing or chroots.
