Subject: Increase APT::Cache-HashTableSize default to 50503
X-Git-Tag: 1.2_exp1~42
X-Git-Url: https://git.saurik.com/apt.git/commitdiff_plain/3b4cbca22f473708063c157cc75a2ef411fe6480?ds=sidebyside

Increase APT::Cache-HashTableSize default to 50503

This drop the hash table utilization from a high 98%
to acceptable 74% on unstable, and the average bucket length
from 4.6 to 1.8.

This improves performance by about 5%, while increasing
the size of the cache by 0.2 out of 38MB, that is 0.5%.

48481 is a nice number
