Richard Purdie add11fa1ab package: Add cachedpath optimisation ... Currently, various standard library operations like os.walk(), os.path.isdir() and os.path.islink() each call stat or lstat which involves a syscall into the kernel. There is no caching since they could conceivably have changed on disk. The result is that for something like the do_package task of the kernel we're spending over two minutes making 868,000 individual stat calls for 23,000 files. This is suboptimal. This patch adds lib/oe/cachedpath.py which are a set of replacement functions for these operations which use cached stat data rather than hitting the kernel each time. It gives a nice performance improvement halving the build time of the kernel do_package.
