Monotone used to be quite fastMonotone used to be quite fastPosted Apr 14, 2005 14:12 UTC (Thu) by emk (guest, #1128)Parent article: The Monotone version control system There's nothing inherently slow about Monotone--I've been testing it's performance on large trees since 0.7 or so. The recent releases since 0.14 have gotten quite a bit slower, but this has more to do with new, unoptimized code and lots of expensive sanity-checking. The recommendation from Linus came at a particularly bad time...

Monotone used to be quite fast Posted Apr 14, 2005 20:45 UTC (Thu) by graydon (subscriber, #5009) [Link] yes, a lot of new, very slow sanity checking code went in, to prevent some classes of bug we let in in the 0.16 release cycle. then I packed my belongings for a long vacation (assuming a nice low-key few months with no new developments), which I am still enjoying, and will be until june.
linus just picked a bad time. when I was last doing stress and scalability work on monotone it could work -- a little slowly -- with the entire CVS-imported gcc history, stretching back to the 80s. this was a bigger history than linux. we will get back to that sort of speed once I can give it some real tuning.
