I completely agree that there is significant room for improvement beyond this initial batching implementation. In my formal GSoC proposal, I plan to explore several key areas: 1) Dynamically scaling the batch size based on the algorithm's complexity. Fast algorithms like LZ4 can handle larger batches to hide latency, while compute-heavy LZMA/ZSTD may require smaller, more frequent dispatches to keep cores saturated without bloating memory. 2) Currently, the directory traversal remains serial. I want to investigate parallelizing the inode verification pass to ensure the entire fsck process is truly multi-threaded. 3) Implementing a sliding-window or credit-based throttle to prevent worker threads from over-consuming memory on low-resource devices when disk I/O is slow. Before I begin drafting my proposal based on these goals, can you kindly let me know your thoughts on this? Thanks for the guidance! Best regards, Nithurshen
