It is wasteful to remove a filename term when the whole message document is about to be removed from the database. Profiling with perf shows this takes a significant portion of the time when cleaning up removed files in the database. The logic of n_d_remove_message becomes a bit more convoluted here in order to make the change minimal. It is possible that this function can be further optimized, since the expansion of filename terms into filenames is probably not needed here. --- lib/database.cc | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/lib/database.cc b/lib/database.cc index 6987e2f4..737a3f30 100644 --- a/lib/database.cc +++ b/lib/database.cc @@ -1454,7 +1454,9 @@ notmuch_database_remove_message (notmuch_database_t *notmuch, &message); if (status == NOTMUCH_STATUS_SUCCESS && message) { - status = _notmuch_message_remove_filename (message, filename); + if (notmuch_message_count_files (message) > 1) { + status = _notmuch_message_remove_filename (message, filename); + } if (status == NOTMUCH_STATUS_SUCCESS) status = _notmuch_message_delete (message); else if (status == NOTMUCH_STATUS_DUPLICATE_MESSAGE_ID) -- 2.40.1 _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-leave@notmuchmail.org
