It is quite possible that avoiding the Cygwin stat() and instead using Win32 API to get *only* the information actually needed in each case would give a measurable gain. I can imagine that especially constructing the Unix-style mode bits from the Windows ACL can require in the worst case quite a lot of code for Cygwin to do. Or not, actually implementing a replacement and then doing some benchmarking would be needed... I once started hacking on that, but got distracted, and as far as I recall, the use of stat() in make was somewhat convoluted and it was not obvious in which cases just the st_mtime was needed, and when an st_dev and st_ino was also needed. --tml _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
