</div>For what it's worth, darcs annotate is one of the things I would like us<br>
to see work on during the upcoming hacking sprint (just 19 more days!).<br>
We still have to work out a proper agenda. I know network performance<br>
is big on the list, as is some poring over memory consumption. It would<br>
be awesome if we could rehabilitate darcs annotate.</blockquote><div><br>When I met with Don Stewart last week, I told him I was hoping we could sit down and sketch a plan to evaluating Oleg's new iteratee based IO for darcs at the hacking sprint. It wouldn't be the sort of algorithmic improvement we need for annotate, but it could help alleviate some of the overall performance problems.<br>
<br>I'm also still wondering what the previously discussed optimization to annotate is that David mentioned in this thread:<br><a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/darcs-users@darcs.net/msg05822.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/darcs-users@darcs.net/msg05822.html</a><br>
<br>I asked for clarification back in August but no one replied. Where is this well known solution documented?<br><br>thanks,<br>Jason<br></div></div></div>
