Git Speed

How Fast is Git?

The web is full of benchmarks showing the supernatural speed of Git even with very big repositories, but unfortunately they use the wrong variable. Size is not important, but the number of files in the repository really is!

Why is that? Well, that's because Git works in a very different way compared to Synergy. You don't have to checkout a file in order to edit it; Git will do that for you automatically. But at what price?

The price is that for every Git operation that requires to know which files changed (git status, git commmit, etc etc) an lstat() call will be executed for every single file

Wow! So how does that perform on a fairly large repository? Let's find out! For this example I will use an example project, which has 19384 files in 1326 folders.

How to install qcachegrind (kcachegrind) on OSX Snow Leopard
SUMMARY
I like to use kcachegrind for doing profiling on my ruby code. Most of my development
is done on OSX, and while you can install kcachegrind via macports, it takes forever
because it has to build KDE, as well. Much to my surprise, the fine folks who
wrote kcachegrind also made a QT version, qcachegrind. I was able to build this on
OSX without too much effort, only having to install QT and GraphViz. Yippie!
I'm running OSX 10.6.7, with Xcode 4. My default gcc/g++ version is 4.2. I'm sure
it will build just fine on earlier versions of Xcode, but I haven't tested it.
