I downloaded the Windows 1.18 version (supposedly build with mingw) from
the website and tested it getting the same results as my previous post's
timings ('delete' mode and 'wal' mode).Using Sysinternals' Process Monitor it was clear that fossil was reading all the way through the repository several times during the process of commit (it was just streaming ReadFile calls at 1k increments, it would get towards the end and loop back around, occasionally go back and forth between two areas for a bit, then go back to reading through it all - repeat). Also, I just want to clear up a minor point on my previous post, fossil.exe uses much more ram than I mentioned, but still less than hg I also fired up my Ubuntu 11.04 64bit laptop and downloaded 1.19 from the website. I ran the same tests and got nearly identical results for timings. Actually, slightly worse because the laptop's hard drive is a 5400 I believe. -Jeff _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
