From c2a33679a726aeb75529540c2b295f21023ddbc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2007 00:06:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] threaded delta search: refine work allocation With this, each thread get repeatedly assigned the next available chunk of objects to process until the whole list is done. The idea is to have reasonably small chunks so that all CPUs remain busy with a minimum number of threads for as long as there is data to process.
