Tests on Ubuntu 8.04, Java 1.6, I only tested two svn revisions and 1.7.1 (and used top instead of task manager in my highly scientific approach to measure memory consumption 8-)
The trends are the same. Even though the machine is a lot slower than my work Windows system the times are comparable. I guess Linux' tempfs is quite a bit faster than a real NTFS formatted disk. The pre-tokenization changes have a stronger effect, though. My guess - again - is that scanning is stronger I/O bound on the Windows machine and CPU bound on tempfs on Linux. It also seems as if I needed to modify the test setup to make it even larger if I want to compare further tweaks. Interestingly the effect of followSymlinks=false is far less dramatic on Linux than on Windows. I removed memoization of File.list and File.getCanonicalPath (only local, not yet committed) and it didn't change much, so I'll probably remove it completely. I added a new many-roots tests (not part of the timings for "all" below) that should be sensitive to memoization and pre-tokenization. tests with default settings =========================== matchall -------- Ant 1.7.1 15 s ~ 20 MB trunk rev 696355 12 s ~ 34 MB trunk rev 696674 2 s ~ 29 MB no memoization 2 s ~ 20 MB roots ----- Ant 1.7.1 0 s ~ ??
