This patch series is a performance optimization for
lazy_init_name_hash() in name-hash.c on very large
repositories.
This change allows lazy_init_name_hash() to optionally
use multiple threads when building the the_index.dir_hash
and the_index.name_hash hashmaps. The original code path
has been preserved and is used when the repo is small or
the system does not have sufficient CPUs.
If sha1 verification in the index file can now be optionally skipped,
I wonder if you would have faster startup time by storing hashes in
the index as an extension. I have never tried it (though I planned to
have some sort of caching for this) but I would guess loading hashes
would cost less than 0.27 seconds, hopefully closer to 0.05 seconds.
I've thought about doing that, but haven't gotten around to
actually trying it yet. It's on my TODO list though.
Thanks
