Well, do note that the hardlinker in quick-fedora-mirror tries to use the file lists to make things faster. There is an 'ignore timestamps' mode intended for use on the mirror server. Then the primary optimization is the assumption that linked files will have identical filenames, which I don't think a general hardlink program will do.
