Timeline

The module doc claimed stores of this size read in milliseconds. They do not -- a 117MB mirror scanned for 62 seconds. The claim was carried over from a WRITE path taken once per ticket change onto a READ path taken per view, where neither the frequency nor the scale held. Removed rather than softened, with what the scan actually costs written down: still linear in store bytes, which the constant-factor fix did not change.

The doc also named quarry throughout. zit provides the hooks; what is built on them is not zit's business, and naming one forge in the code reads as though it were. closed check-in: 78d56a2177 user: dmestas tags: landing-doc

The fold called artifact.parse on every artifact in the store and let it fail on the content blobs, which are most of a real store's bytes -- and a parse attempt pays a whole-bytes Z checksum before rejecting one. It now applies the reject-fast pre-screen frames --structural already uses, and reuses one plaintext buffer instead of allocating per artifact.

zit landing ls, release build: quarry 1.06s -> 0.15s, zit 2.19s -> 0.31s, libfossil 8.49s -> 0.91s. A forum-shaped store is unchanged, because there is nothing to reject there; it was never the slow case.

The screen only rejects. Every accept still takes the full parse, so nothing the fold would refuse can be admitted by being shaped like a card. closed check-in: 8776c0e5bb user: dmestas tags: landing-scan
