But the problem is that it’s not very elegant (using string compare), and it is no optimization for other atoms that require in-depth parsing. I remember the "fast path" used by Ævar last time, and it seems that Junio doesn't like them. [1][2]Yes, I did say it was "pretty horrible". :) It was mostly meant as a proof-of-concept to see where the time was going, and what was possible. It _could_ be used as a stop-gap while improving the general performance, but it's gross enough that it's probably not a good idea (it's increased maintenance, but also it dis-incentivizes fixing the real problems).
Agree. Like you said, these performance gaps are caused by the used_atom system.
