Database read optimizations
Hard to believe there was still more room to improve on this, but I found an easily correctable oversight tonight. Our databases (both sync and local) contain many blank lines, and we were not moving onto the next line right away in these cases; instead we would proceed through our strcmp() conditional checks as normal. Some local numbers follow to show the effects of this patch: Sync `-Ss foobarbaz`: 71,709 blank lines skipped early ~1,505,889 strcmp() calls avoided (21 per line) ~15% speed improvement (.210 --> .179 sec) Local `-Qs foobarbaz`: 6,823 blank lines skipped early 115,991 strcmp() calls avoided (17 per line) ~6% speed improvement (.080 -> .071 sec) Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
