[Monotone-devel] Performance question

[Rob Schoening]

On windows I notice that that whole-workspace operations (ls unknown, ls missing, commit, etc.) often take 10-20x longer when they have not been run recently whereas a subsequnt execution (moments later) will return very quickly.

 

Does monotone retain a cache someplace or is this performance difference exclusively a function of the workspace files being in the filesystem and/or disk cache.  (I have not done anything to enable or disable inodeprints, which i believe is disabled by default?)

 

It's not a big deal either way....I'm just curious.
