Re: [jgit-dev] JGit slow?

Hm, actually i don’t even care whether comparison is fair in this case. This time i have my user-hat on :D if the answer is “to fix it we need local mode” then thats an answer too ;) I just noticed that in the situation i have, i’m way faster with native git, so i had to switch. I’d love to get rid of that workaround again, so i can avoid exec’ing native from java code (i hate it) and instead get back to JGit APIs.

 

Thanks for the lot of reactions anyway to all of you!

Hey!

 

I’m currently doing some performance test with jgit (downloaded today, plain 2.1.0.201209190230-r.sh on command line). It seems that cloning a repository in a RAM disk is orders of magnitudes slower than with native git. The times are as follows (8 sec vs. 4:22 minutes?!?!?):

 

 

salxbuild03.salomon.at % time git clone ../wamas5.git/

Cloning into 'wamas5'...

done.

6.477u 1.770s 0:08.37 98.4%       0+0k 0+0io 18pf+0w

 

I'm not sure how long this has been true, but git clone <path> currently defaults to --local, which just copies or hard links the objects, packs, and refs verbatim.

 

 

 

salxbuild03.salomon.at % time ./org.eclipse.jgit.pgm-2.1.0.201209190230-r.sh clone /big22/wamas5/ram/mirror-clones/wamas5.git

JGit, however, has no --local functionality AFAIK. Perhaps a better apples-to-apples comparison would be to use git clone --no-local.

 

 

 

Every single step in the cloning process seems to take a  lot of time.

 

Second thing I noticed: cloning with “../wamas5.git” didn’t work. I got a “fatal: ../wamas5.git/: not found.” I had to pass the absolute path to clone.

 

Any Ideas?
