digest algorithm performance

2005-06-15 Thread P
I haven't looked too deeply into this, so this is just a heads up. I have a util which currently uses md5sum to compare file contents, and in light of the recent vulnerabilities I have decided to use _in addition_ another digest algorithm. So I compared the performance of the digests available

mkdir efficiency

2005-06-15 Thread David Feuer
mkdir does not optimize for the case of multiple directories created with shared prefixes. If, say, I write mkdir /a/b/c/d/e /a/b/c/d/f /a/b/c/d/g mkdir will likely waste more OS resources than necessary. Things are much worse when using -p: mkdir -p /a/b/c/d/e /a/b/c/d/f /a/b/c/d/g
