I had never heard of borg backup, seems like a great backup tool.
Now, I just installed it on my mac and running `borg --help` takes about 5 seconds before outputting the help.
Same for any other `borg ...` command.
I'm not quite sure why, but that's the only command I've noticed to be running slow on my system.
I'm running borg 1.1.10.

- blattimwind 7y agoMost of the C code is vendored third party libraries, there are only 2000-3000 lines of C that are actually part of the project.
- wcip 7y agoThat's the Python interpreter and all the dependencies starting up. Shouldn't really matter if you are using it as a chron job.
- gouggoug 7y agoI see. The screencast on their website made it seem very fast (which it may have been on a beefier machine than mine?), so I was surprised.

- alpaca128 7y agoPretty sure it's not. I've never seen borg take 5+ seconds for anything except creating backups. The same `borg --help` command finishes in 0.4s on my machine. That's not blazing fast either but I'm okay with it.
