Update hashwrite() and friends to use the fast_-variants of hashing functions, calling for e.g., "the_hash_algo->fast_update_fn()" instead of "the_hash_algo->update_fn()". These callers only use the_hash_algo to produce a checksum, which we depend on for data integrity, but not for cryptographic purposes, so these callers are safe to use the fast (and potentially non-collision detecting) SHA-1 implementation. To time this, I took a freshly packed copy of linux.git, and ran the following with and without the OPENSSL_SHA1_FAST=1 build-knob. Both versions were compiled with -O3: $ git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname)' refs/heads refs/tags >in $ valgrind --tool=callgrind ~/src/git/git-pack-objects \ --revs --stdout --all-progress --use-bitmap-index <in >/dev/null Without OPENSSL_SHA1_FAST=1 (that is, using the collision-detecting SHA-1 implementation for both cryptographic and non-cryptographic purposes), we spend a significant amount of our instruction count in hashwrite(): $ callgrind_annotate --inclusive=yes | grep hashwrite | head -n1 159,998,868,413 (79.42%) /home/ttaylorr/src/git/csum-file.c:hashwrite [/home/ttaylorr/src/git/git-pack-objects] , and the resulting "clone" takes 19.219 seconds of wall clock time, 18.94 seconds of user time and 0.28 seconds of system time. Compiling with OPENSSL_SHA1_FAST=1, we spend ~60% fewer instructions in hashwrite(): $ callgrind_annotate --inclusive=yes | grep hashwrite | head -n1 59,164,001,176 (58.79%) /home/ttaylorr/src/git/csum-file.c:hashwrite [/home/ttaylorr/src/git/git-pack-objects] , and generate the resulting "clone" much faster, in only 11.597 seconds of wall time, 11.37 seconds of user time, and 0.23 seconds of system time, for a ~40% speed-up.
