[PATCH] cat-file: skip expanding default format

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: John Cai <johncai86@xxxxxxxxx>

When format is passed into --batch, --batch-check, --batch-command,
the format gets expanded. When nothing is passed in, the default format
is set and the expand_format() gets called.

We can save on these cycles by hardcoding how to print the
information when nothing is passed as the format, or when the default
format is passed. There is no need for the fully expanded format with
the default. Since batch_object_write() happens on every object provided
in batch mode, we get a nice performance improvement.

git rev-list --all > /tmp/all-obj.txt

git cat-file --batch-check </tmp/all-obj.txt

with HEAD^:

Time (mean ± σ): 57.6 ms ± 1.7 ms [User: 51.5 ms, System: 6.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 54.6 ms … 64.7 ms 50 runs

with HEAD:

Time (mean ± σ): 49.8 ms ± 1.7 ms [User: 42.6 ms, System: 7.3 ms]
Range (min … max): 46.9 ms … 55.9 ms 56 runs

If nothing is provided as a format argument, or if the default format is
passed, skip expanding of the format and print the object info with a
default format.

    optimize cat file batch info writing
    
    When cat-file --batch or --batch-check is used, we can skip having to
    expand the format if no format is specified or if the default format is
    specified. In this case we know exactly how to print the objects without
    the full expanded format.
    
    This was first discussed in [1].
    
    We get a little performance boost from this optimization because this
    happens for each objects provided to --batch, --batch-check, or
    --batch-command. Because batch_object_write() is called on every oid
    provided in batch mode, this optimization adds up when a large number of
    oid info is printed.
    
    git rev-list --all >/tmp/all-objs.txt
    
    git cat-file --batch-check </tmp/all-obj.txt (with hyperfine)
    
    run on origin/master:
    
    Time (mean ± σ): 57.6 ms ± 1.7 ms [User: 51.5 ms, System: 6.2 ms] Range
    (min … max): 54.6 ms … 64.7 ms 50 runs
    
    run on jc/optimize-cat-file-batch-default-format:
    
    Time (mean ± σ): 49.8 ms ± 1.7 ms [User: 42.6 ms, System: 7.3 ms] Range
    (min … max): 46.9 ms … 55.9 ms 56 runs
