That sounds as if Windows is the only thing that matters. "It is faster in general, and is much faster on Windows" would have been more convincing, and "It isn't slower, and is much faster on Windows" would also have been OK. Do we have any measurement, or this patch does not yield any measuable gain? By the way, the special casing of disk_sizep (which is only used by the batch-check feature of cat-file) is somewhat annoying with or without this patch, but this change makes it even more so by adding an extra indentation level. I do not think of a way to make it less annoying offhand, and I do not think this change needs to address it in any way, but I am mentioning this as a hint to bystanders who may want to find something small that can be cleaned up ;-) Thanks. > > [1] > https://public-inbox.org/git/alpine.DEB.2.21.1.1707191450570.4193@virtualbox/ > > Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathanta...@google.com> > --- > Thanks for the information - here's a patch.
