Subject: [9fans] fossil speed
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 21:32:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a4a7e15887de2ee9b8b6a0e022ca83b2@vitanuova.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ee9e417a05012519507ec9f987@mail.gmail.com>

has anyone else found fossil to be very slow?  even when it's not
using venti at all (e.g.  extracting a large tar archive).

crudely comparing the speed of my local fossil on a T22 laptop to a
local linux box, it seems to perform operations anywhere from 100 to
200 times as slow.  (again, this is totally crude; i just extracted
the firefox source code, 300MB uncompressed, and then removed it).

even allowing for a factor of 10 in drive/driver speed, this
still seems like a lot.

is there something that can be done about this?  maybe i've just got
things set up wrong.

day to day i don't really use big files so this hadn't impacted me
until now.

  cheers,
    rog.
