These patches contain some minor fixes for performance regression reported
by perf_fast_forward after partial cache was merged. The solution is still
far from perfect, there is one case that still has 30% degradation, but
there is some improvement so there is no reason to hold these changes back.
Refs #2582.
Some numbers:
before - before cache changes were merged
(555621b537)
cache - at the commit that introduced the partial cache
(9b21a9bfb6)
after - recent master + this series
(based on e988121dbb)
Differences are shown relative to "before".
