I was wondering what that 20x difference was, but did not notice that read_string() thing. That function is probably sometimes necessary if you are reading from a non-seekable fd and need to stop immediately after reading the header (so that you can hand the rest to pack handling code), but it really should be the last-ditch thing to read one-byte-at-a-time. Also, I even suspect that we are always reading from a seekable bundle file in this program and it should be able to use buffered input with seeking back as needed after you read enough. - 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
