[darcs-devel] Improving pull performance

[Florian Weimer]

Has anybody thought about improving pull performance?

I think it might be useful to add a cache for the remote
_darcs/inventories/* and _darcs/inventory files, and use zsync to make
downloads of _darcs/inventory incremental.

zsync is available here: <http://zsync.moria.org.uk/>
It doesn't need any special server support, it's all client-side.
