Indeed; the difference should be roughly linear in the number of keymaps with different sets of mapped keys, which is small. > > I think r56948 makes only the following improvement: > > Actualy it seems at present r56948 makes no improvement. At the time, it definitely fixed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/74375. I think the XKB keymaps may have changed since then in such a way as to perturb things such that this is no longer so easily reproducible, although it might still be possible with some reduced set. > In order to make r56948 do what I think it is supposed to do one has > to change also another line in kbdcompiler (I haven't tested this): > > --- kbdcompiler 2009-01-31 21:34:04.360510128 +0200 > +++ kbdcompiler2 2009-01-31 22:06:26.328010042 +0200 > @@ -170,7 +170,7 @@ > my $mink1 = ''; > my $mink2 = ''; > my $minsub = 10000000; > - for $k1 (keys %kmaps, '') { > + for $k1 ('', keys %kmaps) { > for $k2 (keys %kmaps) { > next if ($k1 eq $k2); > if ($k1 eq '') { I have to admit that I'm not sure I can follow what effect that will have?
