Thanks! Looking in our NEWS file and darcs changes output, I think the story goes like this: 1. For Darcs 2.0.3, Petr fixed issue971 by making darcs repair always used a hashed pristine. This introduced a huge memory regression... 2. ... that he worked on a bit in Darcs 2.2 3. ... and that Bertram Felgenhauer finally fixed in Darcs 2.3 4. But somehow, we've introduced a new performance regression in the replay code for Darcs 2.4. Notice how this time, it's time that jumps up. I'm going to snip the most interesting bits to me here... > === darcs === > > || darcs-2.2.1 | darcs-2.3.1 | darcs > ================++=====================+===================+=============== > check || 11.7s 183.0M | 11.0s 55.0M | 42.4s 258.0M > repair || 11.8s 183.0M | 11.1s 55.0M | 44.2s 272.0M > === ghc-hashed === > > || darcs-2.2.1 | darcs-2.3.1 | darcs > ================++======================+====================+=============== > check || 172.3s 1210.0M | 160.5s 146.0M | - - > repair || 173.0s 1287.0M | 127.7s 146.0M | 1190.6s 355.0M Oh well, so Darcs 2.0.3 was a step forward in robustness but backwards in performance; Darcs 2.3 made repair reasonable again and Darcs 2.4 regressed a bit in the performance. Not the highest priority, but worth looking into after the release. One day, this benchmarking stuff will be automated, statistically informed, institutionalised... but it looks like it's starting to pay off! (and that we're starting to hit the limits of our ability to remember history -- maybe that's a good sign?) > || darcs-2.2.0 | darcs-2.2.1 | darcs-2.3.1 > | darcs Yeah, we should adopt a convention of what order we put these in. I guess the left-to-right order, while less convenient is the most intuitive. I don't really mind either way; let's just pick one!
