Grouping together data which is mostly only read together means that we avoid unnecessary cache line bouncing when this code shares a cache line with other data. In other words, cache lines associated with read-mostly data are expected to spend most of their time in shared state. Signed-off-by: Russell King --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
