Hi, I recently started trying to use darcs2, after having used darcs1 for a year or so. I work on a fairly big repo: about 45 megabytes in about 3500 files, in about 300 directories.
With the occasional exceptional meltdown, darcs1 performance was always pretty reasonable. Now, with darcs2 it seems to have become horrible. I have enabled a global cache, according to the instructions in the fine manual. As an experiment, I created a new repo with "darcs init --darcs-2", and then simply imported the latest versions of all of the files and directories. In other words, no history: this new repo has exactly one patch in it. Now "darcs changes" takes around 5 seconds. Gosh; just to list one change?! Now I go make a sample change to one file: I add 3 lines. Now "darcs whatsnew" takes 7 seconds. On my old repo, using darcs1, I could run "darcs whatsnew" in 0.1 seconds (once the file system cache is warm) (on a more typical set of changes: 50 lines or so). Yikes! Am I doing something obviously wrong here? I really love darcs, but I don't see how I can live with this sort of performance. Cheers, - arb _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
