  • freebsd-src

    The FreeBSD src tree publish-only repository. Experimenting with 'simple' pull requests....

    • Try "ls -f" (don't sort)?

    FWIW, FreeBSD uses 4kB (x86 system page size) where glibc uses 32kB in this article: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/lib/libc/ge...

    To the extent libc is actually the problem (I'm not confident of that yet based on the article), this will be worse than glibc's larger buffer.

  • coreutils

    Enhancements to the GNU coreutils (especiall head) (by wertarbyte)
