tiny pagein speedup
Last modified: 2004-02-16 09:29:54 UTC
The attached patch knocks ~50ms off pagein time for me, hopefully more if you have a highly slow disk; perhaps not worth loosing generality for that sort of win but ...
Created attachment 11833 [details] slight speedup
TM->MH: Please have a look, thanks !

Hi Michael, Well, weighting the 'loss of generality' versus this 'micro optimization', my (purely personal) take on this is that I would wish you would join the 'framework' team in their 'macro optimization' attempts for OOo 2.0, instead. What we really need is ~5000ms of (cold) startup improvement, not ~50ms. I see that 100 such patches get us there as well, but this entire 'pagein' thing is in itself an ugly hack of last resort. I don't like to spend any more effort here, except adapting to a possibly changing list of shared objects to preload. Any contribution that (e.g.) helps to refactor 'libsvx...so' into a couple of smaller shared objects would provide much higher overall benefit is desperately needed and highly acknowedged. Of course, this is all just my 2 cents. If you insist in applying this patch, you a free to do so (you do have commit access, don't you?), but I won't. Thanks anyway, Matthias

you're right - it's a pretty crackers patch.
