Possibly, I proposed this in
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54539#28>.  I tried this in 
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54539#62> for a few package modules, with a 
relatively small but noticable improvement (presumably it would be more 
improved by doing it for all package modules instead of only a selection 
and presumably it would be more noticable on a spinning disk instead of 
an SSD).

Greetings,
Maxime.
