Welcome,
Many thank yous for testing the release candidate and for the fantastic
feedback! The reported performance improvements were between 2-12 fold, the
average speed gain being 200-500% for the optimized work loads. That's not
a very bad start for the optimization work.
To show our honest appreciation for your continuous support, we are
including another major performance optimization in the current stable
release.
The free disk space calculation was extremely CPU intensive during write
activity. This could reduce write performance severely, especially for huge
volumes if a file manager, desktop applet or other application regularly
polled for disk space usage. Now the calculation is constant time, around
only 10 microseconds on a typical desktop system, and it's completely
independent of the volume size.
The speed enhancements wouldn't have happened without David Fox's
continuous assistance and contribution.
