- Subject: [PATCH] Improve performance of large restore commands
I noticed a large (100MB) restore took hours to complete. The problem
is target_xfer_partial repeatedly mallocs and memcpys the entire
100MB buffer only to find a small portion of it is actually written.
We already cap reads to 4K, so do that for writes. The testcase that
originally took hours now takes 50 seconds.
