I've switched to using darcs2 locally (no repo changes yet, just to see how well it works as a drop-in replacement). It seems to be noticeably slower for many of the operations I do day to day.
Here's an example, doing 'darcs whatsnew' on the GHC testsuite repository (http://darcs.haskell.org/testsuite): $ time /usr/bin/darcs w -s M ./tests/ghc-regress/ghc-e/should_run/Makefile +3 M ./tests/ghc-regress/ghc-e/should_run/all.T -1 +1 A ./tests/ghc-regress/ghc-e/should_run/ghc-e006.hs A ./tests/ghc-regress/ghc-e/should_run/ghc-e006.stdout 0.97s real 0.24s user 0.09s system 34% /usr/bin/darcs w -s $ time darcs2 w -s M ./tests/ghc-regress/ghc-e/should_run/Makefile +3 M ./tests/ghc-regress/ghc-e/should_run/all.T -1 +1 A ./tests/ghc-regress/ghc-e/should_run/ghc-e006.hs A ./tests/ghc-regress/ghc-e/should_run/ghc-e006.stdout 8.03s real 6.98s user 0.46s system 92% darcs w -s 8x slower! (and no progress messages) yesterday I noticed that an amend-record in the GHC repo was quite slow, and the progress message reported that it was reading the inventory. I hope this is of use to someone... Cheers, Simon _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
