Subject: [bug#46100] [PATCH 0/4] Memoize inferior package access.
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 14:33:59 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi Guix,

this patch set improves performance of inferior lookups by caching previous
results.  The change in inferior-package->manifest-entry has the biggest
impact in my test case, where I'm building a profile consisting of a few R
packages.  Without this patch it takes more than 14 seconds.  With cached
results it takes less than a second.

Included is a patch that Ludo provided on #guix-hpc for which I wrote a
commit message.

The test case is attached.

Ludovic Courtès (1):
  inferior: Memoize package input field access.

Ricardo Wurmus (3):
  guix: Fix typo.
  inferior: Memoize inferior-package->manifest-entry.
  inferior: Memoize inferior package search path access.
