notmuch

installation:

$ cc -O3 -Wall notmuch.c -o notmuch

Optimization is critical for maximum performance on all platforms. "-o" flag required for newer XCode versions.

usage:

$ ./notmuch [arg ...]

what's it do?

not much

troubleshooting...

please read the fine manual (this) thoroughly before contacting the author.

license

gpl, or something

updates

added "notmuch.sh" and "notmuch.py". To run either first make them executable them run, as so:

% chmod 755 ./notmuch.sh ./notmuch.py
% ./notmuch.sh
% ./notmuch.py
% go build notmuch.go
% ./notmuch
% julia ./notmuch.jl

benchmarks

These were run on a micro EC2 instance and are for demonstration purposes only. Your mileage may vary. The only benchmarks that matter are your benchmarks.

$ cc -O3 -Wall notmuch.c -o notmuch
$ time ./notmuch

real	0m0.001s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s
$ time ./notmuch.sh

real	0m0.002s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s
$ time ./notmuch.py

real	0m0.014s
user	0m0.008s
sys	0m0.000s
$ rm notmuch
$ go build notmuch.go
$ time ./notmuch

real	0m0.001s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s

This benchmark run on a mac mini

$ time /Local/Applications/Julia-0.6.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia /tmp/notmuch.jl 

real	0m0.482s
user	0m0.329s
sys	0m0.132s

Clearly, if you are going to run "notmuch" in production the macos/julia combo is to be avoided.
