Hello, I am facing the same "problem" as mentioned in this thread dating of 2006: http://ant.1045680.n5.nabble.com/Performance-of-fileset-related-operations-with-a-large-number-of-files-td1361341.html
That is, I'm using ant to build a tar archive of a directory containing 100,000+ files, and the operation is much slower than when simply doing it on the command-line (42 minutes vs 5 minutes). >From what I understand most of the time is spent building the fileset before actually writing to the destination file. Is there any way to improve this performance? So far my option would be to use an exec task running the tar command instead of a tar task. Has any of you faced this problem or have a better idea?
