v4 has a bunch of changes
- 1/5 is a new one to show indented tracing. This way it's less
misleading to read nested time measurements
- 3/5 now has the switch/restore cache_bottom logic. Junio suggested a
check instead in his final note, but I think this is safer (yeah I'm
scared too)
- the old 4/4 is dropped because
- it assumes n-way logic
- the visible time saving is not worth the tradeoff
- Elijah gave me an idea to avoid add_index_entry() that I think
does not have n-way logic assumptions and gives better saving.
But it requires some more changes so I'm going to do it later
- 5/5 is also new and should help reduce cache_tree_update() cost.
I wrote somewhere I was not going to work on this part, but it turns
out just a couple lines, might as well do it now.The last step feels a bit scary, but other than that I did not spot anything iffy in the series. Nicely done. Thanks.
