perf-test: update corpus signature

2023-07-09T15:14:29Z

In the decade (!) since this corpus was last updated, the keyserver network is essentially dead, and I have migrated gpg keys. Bump the version number as a clean way of switching signatures. Also update the instructions to suggest using "--locate-external-key" to download the public key. By default this uses WKD, which is now supported for my UID.

perf-test: add tests notmuch-git

2022-07-17T00:27:40Z

The main focus of these initial tests is the (currently unacceptably slow) checkout performance.

perf-test/emacs: test showing longish threads

2022-07-14T07:50:33Z

This particular thread takes about 100 times longer to display in emacs than on the command line. The parameter notmuch-show-max-text-part-size exists, but is currently ineffective for this task because it only hides attachments, not part 0. In future commits, the parameter notmuch-show-{depth,height}-limit will trigger a similar kind of hiding for bodies as n-s-m-text-part-size already does for attachments.

perf-test: emacs tagging

2022-02-25T12:38:21Z

Time tag operations, to see if it is worthwhile keeping both the batch and the non-batch calls to notmuch tag.

perf-test: allow running test_emacs from performance test suite.

2022-02-25T12:38:03Z

test_require_external prereq has to move to test-lib-common.sh, and the new shell functions print_emacs_header and time_emacs are provided. The somewhat indirect way of printing the output is to avoid the extra "" present on string values from emacsclient.

test: split variable settings to their own file

2022-02-25T12:37:14Z

This allows sharing more variable settings between the (correctness) tests and the performance-tests. Unfortunately it seems a bit tricky to move settings to test-lib-common.sh, as that is sourced late in test-lib.sh, and moving it earlier breaks things.

perf-test: fix for verbose

perf-test: add ruby test

2021-07-18T19:50:27Z

Simply list the message-id of all the messages in a loop 100 times. Suggested-by: David Bremner Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras

perf-test: add test for reindexing after removal/renaming msgs

2021-05-23T11:22:31Z

At this point it is a bit tricky to measure the performance increase from the new message deletion code, since the same commit (9ad19e4) that improved the performance also seems to have fixed a bug with an uncaught Xapian exception triggered by this test.

perf-test/T00-new: fix backup creation.

2021-05-19T11:54:44Z

"xargs tar cf backup.tar < $manifest" recreates the tar file with each "batch" execed by xargs. In general this results in only a fraction of the desired files being backed up.
