Used hashed package name in _alpm_pkg_find
This results in huge gains to a lot of our codepaths since this is the most frequent method of random access to packages in a list. The gains are seen in both profiling and real life. $ pacman -Sii zvbi real: 0.41 sec -> 0.32 sec strcmp: 16,669,760 calls -> 473,942 calls _alpm_pkg_find: 52.73% -> 26.31% of time $ pacman -Su (no upgrades found) real: 0.40 sec -> 0.50 sec strcmp: 19,497,226 calls -> 524,097 calls _alpm_pkg_find: 52.36% -> 26.15% of time There is some minor risk with this patch, but most of it should be avoided by falling back to strcmp() if we encounter a package with a '0' hash value (which we should not via any existing code path). We also do a strcmp once hash values match to ensure against hash collisions. The risk left is that a package name is modified once it was originally set, but the hash value is left alone. That would probably result in a lot of other problems anyway. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
