@ -21,3 +21,16 @@ are still some things that could be improved, tracked here:
all that needs to be done is make checksum verification be done as the
cleanup action. Currently, it's bundled into the same action that
transfers content.
* Don't parallelize start stage actions. They are supposed to run fast,
and often a huge number of them don't print out anything. The overhead of
bookkeeping for parallizing those swamps the benefit of parallelizing by
what seems to be a large degree. Compare `git annex get` in a directory
where the first several thousand files are already present with and
without -J.
Only once the start stage has decided
something needs to be done should a job be started up.
This probably needs display of any output to be moved out of the start
stage, because no console region will be allocated for it.
