Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. * sp/mmap (Sat Dec 30 22:13:43 2006 -0500) 25 commitsRunning this and the merge-recursive speedup I sent today locally. sp/mmap needs relatively recent cygwin library (otherwise pread is broken). No other ill effects noticed. Perfomance is bearable.
The default on Cygwin is now NO_MMAP. I've disabled that default in my own Cygwin environment and continue to use mmap() rather than pread(), but I'm also running my sp/mmap change there. I haven't noticed a performance difference, but I also haven't tested for one. IOW if there is a difference its close enough to noise to not be visible to me as a user. -- Shawn.
