I am pretty confident that the patches I supplied so far are a good thing whether they help your case or not. So if you come back in a month and show that they solved all your problems, then great. And if they don't, then it will just show us what new problems we have to work on. :) > Were your tests mostly warm cache tests? Yes, exclusively warm. And all of the refs were packed, which makes the warm/cold difference less interesting (it's one 30MB or so file). I don't think there's much point in thinking about the performance of 400K loose refs (which would be absolutely horrific cold-cache on most traditional filesystems). If you have that many, you would want to keep the bulk of them packed. -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
