I know this has already been somewhat solved, but I found your numbers curiously high. I work quite a bit with git and large files and I haven't noticed this slowdown. Can you be more specific about your load? Are you sure it is zlib? On my 1.8Ghz Athlon, compressing 45MB of zeros into 20K takes about 2s. Compressing 45MB of random data into a 45MB object takes 6.3s. In either case, the commit takes only about 0.5s (since cogito stores the object during the cg-add). Is there some specific file pattern which is slow to compress? -Peff - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
