Hi,
Profiling potentially shows that things are being copied. If the process runs
long enough then garbage collection will kick in.
I know it’s superficial for this process in the big picture and that collecting
package signatures is the culprit that needs a speed up.
245 2.10ms 245 7.44ms my ($stem, $version) =
OpenBSD::PackageName::splitname($_);
# spent 7.44ms making 245 calls to
OpenBSD::PackageName::splitname, avg 30µs/call
245 617µs $port->{$subdir}{stem} =
$stem;
245 456ms 245 454ms $port->{$subdir}{version} =
$version;
# spent 454ms making 245 calls to main::CORE:readline, avg
1.85ms/call
-------------
($port->{$subdir}{stem}, $port->{$subdir}{version})
245 449ms 490 452ms =
OpenBSD::PackageName::splitname($_);
# spent 445ms making 245 calls to
main::CORE:readline, avg 1.82ms/call
# spent 6.98ms making 245 calls to
OpenBSD::PackageName::splitname, avg 28µs/call
