Which is one of the reasons why uv is so fast. It reduces the total times it needs to go to PyPI! Not only does it cache really well, it also hits PyPI more efficiently and highly parallel. Once you resolved once, future resolutions will likely bypass PyPI for the most part entirely.

Oh, that's good to hear. The performance discourse around uv seems to revolve around "written in Rust! Statically compiled!" all the time, but an algorithmic change like that is something that could conceivably make its way back into Pip. (Or perhaps into future competing tools still written in Python. I happen to have a design of my own.)
