Today worked on converting the Key data type to use ByteString.
|
|
|
|
Microbenchmarks of Keys improved, especially parsing them got 700% faster.
|
|
But key parsing is not enough of an overhead in any commands I benchmarked
|
|
to be a real improvement.
|
|
|
|
The new key parser is much stricter than the old one, which helps the
|
|
speed. Hopefully the oddly formatted edge cases that the old parser allowed
|
|
are not really in use; they include keys with fields out of the usual order,
|
|
and keys with multiple values for the same field.
|
|
|
|
The next step would probably be to convert the git interface to use
|
|
ByteStrings, and that plus the current groundwork is likely to lead to some
|
|
real performance improvements. But I'm going to stop here with the
|
|
ByteString conversion for now.
