"cat $FILELIST > /dev/null &" will prepopulate your cache for you, and should do it on a separate processor from the md5sum process. (I take it this is jffs2 log reassembly and decompression?)
Yes. It took 11.5 seconds to cat every file in the list to /dev/null, so in fact it's a net loss over the -j2 option to md5sum! The second catting took 0.2 seconds, obviously the big loss is in jffs2. -- Jim _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
