I imagine Apt is usually IO constrained?

That's my guess, yeah

Also, Fil-C's overheads are the lowest for programs that are pushing primitive bits around.

Fil-C's overheads are the highest for programs that chase pointers.

I'm guessing the CPU bound bits of apt (if there are any) are more of the former
