What is the size of teh data indexed there? Working with git internals I quickly realised that there are some good trivial strategies (ab)using the fs performance on linux that are simpler and faster than using an "indexing library" as I've done in the past. On a slow fs like jffs2, fancy indexers can be even worse than the cheapskates fs techniques because mmapping may suck on jffs2 but (ab)using directories doesn't... cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
