Hi all, people have several times complained about useless access calls in strace logs. The problem is that a successful call in portdbapi.findname2 is cached by aux_get, but a failed is not.
This patch works around this by adding a cache for findname2. This gives a speed up of about 5% compared to current master. The real problem is that the resolver calls aux_get for a given cpv for each existing repo. That's because portdbapi.cp_list returns only cpvs without telling the caller to which repo it belongs. Fixing that properly would require quite some work on the portdbapi class. There was the complaint that instead of writing the caching myself I should be using a memoization decorator. Unfortunately nobody could suggest a good implementation with proper license to use. If someone knows one, let me know. - Sebastian
