Wow, it behaves horribly. I didn't even let the bigger tests run to completion. Here is the output for git.git (the first line is from the original, unmodified version of git with --window=10): orig | 31.4M (100%) | 54s (100%) 10 | 44.0M (140%) | 169s (310%) 20 | 37.7M (120%) | 232s (428%) 40 | 33.6M (107%) | 331s (608%) 80 | 30.9M ( 99%) | 473s (868%) 160 | 29.4M ( 94%) | 696s (1279%) Unless the window is increased a lot, the packs end up quite a bit larger (and even still we spend a lot more CPU time). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
