While I've somewhat ramped down activity this +month with the Kickstarter period over and summer trips and events ongoing, +looking over the changelog I still see a ton of improvements in the 20 days +since the last release. + +Been doing some work to make the assistant daemon be more `nice`. I don't +want to nice the whole program, because that could make the web interface +unresponsive. What I am able to do, thanks to Linux violating POSIX, is +nice certian expensive operations, including the startup scan and the daily +sanity check. Also, I put in a call to `ionice` (when it's available) +when `git annex assistant --autostart` is run, so the daemon's +disk IO will be prioritized below other IO. Hope this keeps it out of your +way while it does its job. |
