I should breath before I type, but you probably already got that I meant redundant writes (not reads)...

Anyway.. I was talking with Esteban and he mentions some kind of compatibility metadata.

If I'm going to give a leap of faith to filetree repos to save code why should I care about mcz compatibility? Paying a toll for no reason is evil.

Maybe we could make that optional so those who don't extract value from that feature can opt-out?

Which operations ? I didn't remember noticing much with 179 classes on a laptop without a SSD.

choose one. Just for clicking the package that will should you UUID, version and author I need to wait ~16 seconds. Sounds like a lot of overhead for reading a small .json file.

But the write is the most worrisome


All that is with a SSD disk, otherwise save delays would be /way/ beyond
unacceptable

I'd like to know more, and understand the reason, for sure. As far as I know, filetree will rewrite the whole package to disk everytime... and maybe optimising that could be the solution.


Well, that explains a lot. Writing all every time is the lazy thing that's okay for a prototype and temporary code in a proof of concept but that massive redundant reads certainly doesn't sounds like pro software. Specially for SSD's which has a limited quantity of writes
