Is there a noticeable benefit of this huge syscall reduction?
- Imustaskforhelp 1y agoYes I just checked it after installing strace strace -c ls gave me this 100.00 0.002709 13 198 5 total strace -c eza gave me this 100.00 0.006125 12 476 48 total strace -c lsr gave me this 100.00 0.001277 33 38 total So seeing the number of syscalls in the calls directory 198 : ls 476 : eza 33 : lsr A meaningful difference indeed!
- richardwhiuk 1y agoThat's just observing there is a difference, not explaining why that's a good thing.
- fpoling 1y agosyscalls are expensive and their relative latency compared with the rest of code only grow especially in view of mitigations against cache-related and other other hardware bugs.
