The
/list
API can be a bit slow when there are lots of recordings that need to be processed.The concatenation procedure can be split up and executed concurrently (and even parallelly).
I hard-coded the splits into 4, as most modern platforms have at least 4 cores.
But it's possible to introduce a more sophisticated way to determine the preferred number, either by the number of files or the total size of the files. We can gather the statistics in
os.Walk
.Yet I believe the overhead of goroutine is negligible in most cases, so a static strategy is probably alright.
With this patch, on my AlderLake laptop, the response time is about 3x faster when parsing 2X GBs of recordings.
