mmapindex: set default to 1MB mmapping index is more efficient if we only need a small part of it. The 1MB value has been picked arbitrarily, a lower value might be better. On a large repository with a 60MB index, we see the following performance gain: hg perfindex before: ! wall 0.032023 comb 0.040000 user 0.000000 sys 0.040000 (best of 100) after: ! wall 0.000196 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (best of 1060) The speed boost benefit all cases, including the one where the full index needs to be parsed. hg perfindex --rev 0 before: ! wall 0.040673 comb 0.030000 user 0.000000 sys 0.030000 (best of 100) after ! wall 0.010713 comb 0.020000 user 0.010000 sys 0.010000 (best of 212) This gain reflect in higher level operation: hg perfbookmarks --clear-revlogs before: ! wall 0.161339 comb 0.160000 user 0.130000 sys 0.030000 (best of 56) after: ! wall 0.123228 comb 0.120000 user 0.120000 sys 0.000000 (best of 68)
