Make Ubuntu packages 90% faster by rebuilding them

TL;DR

You can take the same source code package that Ubuntu uses to build jq, compile it again, and realize 90% better performance.

Setting

I use jq for processing GeoJSON files and other open data offered in JSON format. Today I am working with a 500MB GeoJSON file that contains the Alameda County Assessor's parcel map. I want to run a query that prints the city for every parcel worth more than a threshold amount. The program is

	#!/bin/bash
	# version 2 thanks to @dhx-mike-palandra

	echo "Creating /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-forticlient.conf..."
	sudo cat > /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-forticlient.conf << 'EOF'
	[keyfile]
	unmanaged-devices=interface-name:~vpn*,type:tun
	EOF

	if [ $? -eq 0 ]
