Eek!
Is that memory usage swap-friendly? If so, that's not so bad since 1GB of swap area is not too much (I have a lot more, as backstorage for tmpfs anyway, I assume many do the same on their development boxes)...
But still, it is quite non-scalable...

The Darcs Revision Control System Posted Nov 12, 2004 18:37 UTC (Fri) by larryr (guest, #4030) [Link] I think the performance problems with darcs may be related to deriving metadata information at runtime rather than storing it explicitly in files or filenames; in other words the fundamental approach is resource intensive rather than the particular implementation.
