Subject: speed of rc
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1993 16:26:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9304132026.AA15743@netapp.netapp.com> (raw)

John pointed out to me that the rc path search does a stat() before
an exec(), even for an absolute path name. Optimizing out that
stat should take care of the "pus" problem, if indeed that file
is full of lines which say "/tmp/xx".

Disclaimer: I haven't tried to reproduce any of this stuff here yet.
Further disclaimer: I want to offer my apologies for not spending
more time on rc, but things have really never been busier for me
as a programmer.
