Turns out the reason for git-archive-tree -f tar being 10% slower than
git-tar-tree was a stupid memory leak in write_tar_entry(). *blush*
It caused lots of brk() calls (i.e. system calls).
In order to simplify measurement, I commented out the body of
write_entry(), which both git-archive-tree and git-tar-tree are calling
to write their output. The rest left is basically two pure tree
traversers, git-archive-tree using read_tree_recursive() and git-tar-tree
using its struct tree_desc based traverse_tree().
I then let the two chew away on the kernel repository. And as
kcachegrind impressively shows, all we do with our trees and objects is
dwarfed by inflate(). In both cases more than 96.6% of the cost lies
within libz. That's not too surprising, because archivers need to
decompress _all_ objects, not only trees.
So for git-archive we can pretty much chose which traverser to use based
on convenience.
As a second experiment I wrote a struct tree_desc based traverser plus a
matching read_tree_recursive() compatibility wrapper (included below for
reference, not for inclusion) and compared the performance of
'git-ls-tree -r -t' on the kernel repository with and without it. The
result is that the relative cost of all functions from tree.c combined
decreased from 0.93% to 0.66%. Ugh.
So while a struct tree_desc based traverser can be significantly faster
than read_tree_recursive(), as soon as you actually start to do something
to the trees that difference pales to insignificance.
