[tahoe-dev] darcs-2 is really fast at "darcs get", when you use hashed repositories

[zooko]

Folks:

I just posted a note to the darcs-users mailing list [1] about how  
upgrading the dapper buildslave from darcs-1 to darcs-2 reduced the  
time for a "darcs get --partial" from 300 seconds to 90, how then  
configuring it to pull from the hashed-format repository (http:// 
allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk-hashedformat) instead of the darcs-1- 
format repository (http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk) reduced  
it from 90 seconds to 6, and how enabling a global cache on the  
dapper buildslave reduced it from 6 seconds to 4.

Regards,

Zooko
