Thank you for the answer now it made more clearer, at least for me, on what you meant.

And to be fair, when I was at 4.x version, 90% of the time I was in the happy path, my "being slow" issue was when download speeds got really bad, sometimes caused by my ISP, so my end.

As others mentioned, homebrew is a great piece of software, thank you, not only you but everyone who maintains it.
