Optimize pop_most_recent_commit() by adding the first parent using the more efficient prio_queue_peek() and prio_queue_replace() instead of prio_queue_get() and prio_queue_put(). On my machine this neutralizes the performance hit it took in Git's own repository when we converted it to prio_queue two patches ago (git_pq): $ hyperfine -w3 -L git ./git_2.50.1,./git_pq,./git '{git} rev-parse :/^Initial.revision' Benchmark 1: ./git_2.50.1 rev-parse :/^Initial.revision Time (mean ± σ): 1.073 s ± 0.003 s [User: 1.053 s, System: 0.019 s] Range (min … max): 1.069 s … 1.078 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: ./git_pq rev-parse :/^Initial.revision Time (mean ± σ): 1.077 s ± 0.002 s [User: 1.057 s, System: 0.018 s] Range (min … max): 1.072 s … 1.079 s 10 runs Benchmark 3: ./git rev-parse :/^Initial.revision Time (mean ± σ): 1.069 s ± 0.003 s [User: 1.049 s, System: 0.018 s] Range (min … max): 1.065 s … 1.074 s 10 runs Summary ./git rev-parse :/^Initial.revision ran 1.00 ± 0.00 times faster than ./git_2.50.1 rev-parse :/^Initial.revision 1.01 ± 0.00 times faster than ./git_pq rev-parse :/^Initial.revision Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <l.s.r@xxxxxx> --- commit.c | 11 +++++++++-- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/commit.c b/commit.c index f4712ad9a7..ea84c8e7f6 100644 --- a/commit.c +++ b/commit.c @@ -743,17 +743,24 @@ void commit_list_sort_by_date(struct commit_list **list) struct commit *pop_most_recent_commit(struct prio_queue *queue, unsigned int mark) { - struct commit *ret = prio_queue_get(queue); + struct commit *ret = prio_queue_peek(queue); + int get_pending = 1; struct commit_list *parents = ret->parents; while (parents) { struct commit *commit = parents->item; if (!repo_parse_commit(the_repository, commit) && !(commit->object.flags & mark)) { commit->object.flags |= mark; - prio_queue_put(queue, commit); + if (get_pending) + prio_queue_replace(queue, commit); + else + prio_queue_put(queue, commit); + get_pending = 0; } parents = parents->next; } + if (get_pending) + prio_queue_get(queue); return ret; } -- 2.50.1
