Performance enhancements

Branch and version creation

An additional optimization has been implemented for branch and version creation. Regarding version 4.2.7, benchmarks on large repository show that the creation time is divided by ten to twenty.

The previous optimisation was performing a number of SQL updates that was a linear function of the number of not empty tables. Now, a home creation consists of two SQL updates.

Archive import

A new archive format has been designed for enhancing performance of import. Regarding version 4.2.7, large archives imports benchmarks show that the time is divided by a factor seven to ten.

Warning: performance enhancement is available only for archives that have been exported from version 4.2.8 or later.

Temporary directory setting

A new property, mdm.temp.directory, has been added for setting the directory used for temporary files.

For more information, see Main Configuration.
