Skate is painfully slow

[DarkblooM-IO]

Is this normal?

System info:

• OS: Linux Mint
• Shell: Bash
• Terminal: Kitty

cannot reproduce it here... are you sure you're using the latest version (v1.0.0)?

[DarkblooM-IO]

Yup

$ skate --version
skate version v1.0.0 (16b84e6)

[caarlos0]

i can't think of anything that would cause it, and also cannot reproduce it myself :/

any other info you could give? how you installed skate? uname -a? maybe also output of mount?

[DarkblooM-IO]

how you installed skate?

Brew

uname -a?

maybe also output of mount?

I can't see why it could be slow, and also cannot reproduce it...

[caarlos0]

my wild guess would be badger.

v4.3.0 has some perf updates, its already on main, could you try it?

[DarkblooM-IO]

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by "try it"
What should I do with Badger?

[caarlos0]

sorry, I meant skate on main branch (which has the latest version of badger)

[DarkblooM-IO]

Is the brew package not the on main branch?

[caarlos0]

just released v1.0.1, can you try updating?

Is the brew package not the on main branch?

no, brew package is always the latest tag

[DarkblooM-IO]

just released v1.0.1, can you try updating?

It still takes around 6 seconds to list items

Tried downloading the executable directly but I get the same result

[caarlos0]

weird... i have no other ideas on what can be causing this... and I cannot reproduce it here either 🤔

[DarkblooM-IO]

What's weird is that it doesn't occur on my other PC, I really don't know what's wrong with my laptop for it to be doing this.

$ time skate list

real	0m3,589s
user	0m0,015s
sys	0m3,424s

Same on my machine. skate is bullet fast on all my personal machines (different hardware, all run Linux Mint), but really slow on my office laptop (Linux Mint again). The only difference I can spot is encrypted home directory on my office lappy (due to the company security policy).
