GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 701672
filesrc calls fstat every time buffer is pulled
Last modified: 2013-06-06 14:41:15 UTC
Basesrc seems to query size on every pull request, which makes file src call fstat on file. fstat is not cached on smb (windows) resulting in severe performance issues.
Also on NFS. The problem is that basesrc always checks the duration after ::create() to see if it's EOS now.
