FWIW, I was the one who asked for the evidence, and this patch looks pretty straightforward and good. We may also want to revisit the data structure for the delta cache, but that can come separately. My earlier tests had not shown improvement with just bumping the cache size, but these ones obviously do. So I think it's worth bumping the default. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
