https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D230491 --- Comment #7 from Garance A Drosehn <gad@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Conrad Meyer from comment #4) Just how much overhead is there in IPC? It's easy to see that a local cache will beat the caching done by a separate nscd process, but why would using = nscd be so much slower than doing a totally non-cached look up of the user and g= roup names each time? Doesn't that seem a little odd? And the local-to-stat caching: won't that only help if many commands are 'stat'-ed in a single command, as opposed to doing many stat-commands with = one file per command? Does 'ls' do local caching? If there is a big benefit in doing local-cachi= ng in 'stat', should we also do it with 'ls'? I know I do a lot more 'ls -l's than I do 'stat'-commands of any kind. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
