Fri, 10 Apr 2026 13:36:19 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10286 Speed up browsing folders with a lot of files Currently Chora is very slow when browsing folders with a lot of files (at least for Git). There should be a way to speed things up. Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:16:36 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10286#t65920 This is not a very helpful request. *Everything* can *always* been improved somehow. Unless you can pinpoint a specific reason why those listings are slow, this request doesn't make sense. Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:37:41 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10286#t65923 OK, I finally got some time to inspect the issue. Seems like queryLastLog() in Git driver is very expensive. And it is performed on every file in a directory. As far as I know currently git doesn't support retrieving last log entries for all folder files. git ls-tree is very similar, but it doesn't include last commit author and date. However these limitations can be avoided by using something like: for a in $(ls); do git log --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09$a" -1 -- "$a"; done Thu, 04 Aug 2011 12:15:40 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10286#t66791 That requires running on a full (non-bare) checkout though, right? Thu, 04 Aug 2011 12:33:19 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10286#t66792 Good question. As it uses git log on a file instead of the index I suspect yes, the repository should be full. Thu, 04 Aug 2011 13:14:39 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10286#t66793 Spoke a little bit too soon about the magic performance of a command in my comment. My previous tests with git log were made on a repository without a full log (git clone --depth 1 with 2 months worth of data). Just checked with full log. As an example root IMP folder listing on previous repository took 0.2 seconds. On full log it took 2.2 seconds :(. Nevertheless it is ~3 times faster than current Chora code. On my server Chora lists files in IMP folder in ~6 seconds. By the way it can be run on the bare repository too with this modification: for a in $(git ls-tree --name-only fa5c5155d); do git log --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09$a" -1 -- "imp/$a"; done Where fa5c5155d is a tree object for imp folder. This also includes last commits for folders which are missing currently from GUI and could be interesting for the user: dc5d0f6 Ralf Lang Wed Jun 15 08:44:43 2011 +0000 COPYING 97c55b2 Jan Schneider Mon May 23 14:34:45 2011 +0200 README a874ce8 Michael M Slusarz Mon Apr 25 13:21:27 2011 -0600 attachment.php b02d946 Jan Schneider Tue Mar 29 16:08:21 2011 +0200 bin 6f99348 Michael M Slusarz Mon Aug 1 16:40:02 2011 -0600 compose-dimp.php 6f99348 Michael M Slusarz Mon Aug 1 16:40:02 2011 -0600 compose-mimp.php 6f99348 Michael M Slusarz Mon Aug 1 16:40:02 2011 -0600 compose.php 6f99348 Michael M Slusarz Mon Aug 1 16:40:02 2011 -0600 config 5b4709a Michael M Slusarz Fri Mar 25 11:43:40 2011 -0600 contacts.php 12cdfbb Michael M Slusarz Wed Aug 3 17:29:02 2011 -0600 docs 70161b3 Michael M Slusarz Mon Apr 25 23:01:49 2011 -0600 folders-mimp.php 1af27ae Michael M Slusarz Sat Jun 4 13:59:50 2011 -0600 folders.php 3a34c30 Michael M Slusarz Mon Jul 25 23:22:34 2011 -0600 index-dimp.php 12d62db Michael M Slusarz Tue Mar 22 17:15:24 2011 -0600 index.php 12cdfbb Michael M Slusarz Wed Aug 3 17:29:02 2011 -0600 js 2d380a5 Michael M Slusarz Wed Aug 3 17:26:26 2011 -0600 lib 6930c5b Jan Schneider Tue Aug 2 15:53:32 2011 +0200 locale 3a43505 Michael M Slusarz Tue May 17 00:12:31 2011 -0600 mailbox-mimp.php 6e93a8c Michael M Slusarz Tue Jul 12 12:41:47 2011 -0600 mailbox.php 6e93a8c Michael M Slusarz Tue Jul 12 12:41:47 2011 -0600 message-dimp.php 6f99348 Michael M Slusarz Mon Aug 1 16:40:02 2011 -0600 message-mimp.php 6f99348 Michael M Slusarz Mon Aug 1 16:40:02 2011 -0600 message.php ae35555 Jan Schneider Sat Mar 26 22:55:54 2011 +0100 migration 6f1f0e0 Michael M Slusarz Thu May 5 09:57:44 2011 -0600 mobile.php 12cdfbb Michael M Slusarz Wed Aug 3 17:29:02 2011 -0600 package.xml 3b6c3f2 Jan Schneider Fri Jan 28 22:31:54 2011 +0100 pgp.php 16436a1 Michael M Slusarz Sat May 14 00:06:36 2011 -0600 rss.php ca28ddc Michael J Rubinsky Thu Jun 16 16:02:21 2011 -0400 saveimage.php 32c3fac Michael M Slusarz Tue May 17 00:13:49 2011 -0600 search-basic.php 54dac27 Michael M Slusarz Mon Aug 1 16:37:27 2011 -0600 search.php e3b18b4 Jan Schneider Wed Mar 30 14:39:55 2011 +0200 smime.php 6f99348 Michael M Slusarz Mon Aug 1 16:40:02 2011 -0600 templates f5d1d97 Gunnar Wrobel Mon Jun 20 23:19:10 2011 +0200 test 6f99348 Michael M Slusarz Mon Aug 1 16:40:02 2011 -0600 themes 9a46eae Michael M Slusarz Tue May 17 17:32:16 2011 -0600 thread.php 2aa8698 Michael M Slusarz Tue Jun 21 23:18:04 2011 -0600 view.php Fri, 05 Aug 2011 12:53:48 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10286#t66808 Sounds promising - do you happen to have a patch for this, or can you make one? (definitely including the last commit per directory, imo) Sat, 06 Aug 2011 05:22:38 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10286#t66816 Not really. I gave a quick look couple of times at Horde_Vcs code and it is still a mistery to me :) I will give it another try some day rather later than sooner. In the meantime maybe someone with more experience can patch it more easily. Sat, 06 Aug 2011 13:19:05 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10286#t66817
