Behavior should be the same, but I'd hope to eventually get rid of most of Utility.FileSystemEncoding and this is a first step.

git-annex uses FilePath (String) extensively. That's a slow data type.
|
|
Converting to ByteString, and RawFilePath, should speed it up
|
|
significantly, according to [[/profiling]].
|
|
|
|
I've made a test branch, `bs`, to see what kind of performance improvement
|
|
to expect.
|
|
|
|
Benchmarking `git-annex find`, speedups range from 28-66%. The files fly by
|
|
much more snappily. Other commands likely also speed up, but do more work
|
|
than find so the improvement is not as large.
|
|
|
|
The `bs` branch is in a mergeable state now.
|
|
|
|
Stuff not entirely finished:
|
|
|
|
* Profile various commands and look for hot spots involving conversion
|
|
between RawFilePath and FilePath.
