Doesn't this break hard links?
Yes, it does. Reverted in r98737 because of this regression.
And how much does it affect activation time, particularly on slower systems?
It makes it slower by more than a factor of 10, apparently. One example: file move: {{{ sudo port -v activate git-core 1.98s user 0.68s system 80% cpu 3.305 total }}} ditto: {{{ sudo port -v activate git-core 21.35s user 15.62s system 91% cpu 40.362 total }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36560#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
