- Improve performance of stat and a few other functions. ls(1) should
be up to 30% faster
I have a directory (500MB, 30 files) which contains mainly 'exe' (setups for
TB, FF, OO etc.). If I try 'ls -l' in this directory, the first time it take
about 30 seconds to list the files. After the first time, the listing is
almost without delay. The same happens also with 'ls -l /usr/bin'.
When there is the 'hang' (30 secs.), Task Manager shows that AVG9 takes about
50% of CPU: this occurs *only* with 1.7.6 but _not_ with 1.7.5, with which
'ls -l' is almost immediate, regardless of the number and type of files.
Obviously I have tested this, each time, with a 'fresh machine', to avoid
'cache' effects.
The system is WinXP SP3, AMD Athlon 64X2DC 2.03GHz, 1.75GB RAM.
