Is there any reason why compat/win32.h uses GetFileAttributesEx() instead of FindFirstFile() to implement the stat() call on Windows? The current implementation requires each queried file to be opened and closed while FindFirstFile() only reads the directory. I made a couple of test programs that stat()ed the 176k files on my disk and got the following best times with GetFileAttributesEx() and FindFirstFile() respectively: ./getfattr.exe < filelist.txt 1.31s user 9.72s system 27% cpu 40.424 total ./findfirst.exe < filelist.txt 1.92s user 13.98s system 95% cpu 16.681 total I searched the archive and found a couple of threads touching upon the subject, but nothing conclusive. I have a (trivial) patch ready if such a change would be interesting. -- Magnus Bäck baeck@xxxxxxxxxx -- 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
