So I just rebuilt my personal venv in my home directory on my daily driver laptop. I did pip freeze > requirements.txt to capture all the packages I had installed. Then I took away all the ==a,b.c versioning so I'd install the latest compatible version.

Then I ran uv pip install -r requirements.txt. This blew me way:

$ time uv pip install -r requirements.txt 
Resolved 250 packages in 2.38s

Wow. 250 packages in 14 seconds.
