Hi!
i've modified cygwin slightly to store symlink value in shortcut's
extended attribute, and to try to get it from there. my (rough)
benchmarking shows 30%-50% speedup in symlink resolution code.
turn ntea "on" before running.
create_tree.sh creates tree structure used for benchmarking,
traverse_tree.sh is actual "benchmark"
the patch is only proof-of-concept. of course, if will be cleaned up
(work only on ntfs, better error checking, etc.) if we decide we need
such functionality in cygwin.
Comments?
