Code Review
This pull request introduces batch processing for token counting to minimize IPC overhead between the main thread and worker threads. Key changes include updating the TokenCountTask interface to support multiple items, modifying the calculateMetricsWorker to process these items in a single pass, and implementing a batching mechanism in calculateSelectiveFileMetrics with a default size of 100. Corresponding updates were made to git diff, git log, and output metrics calculations, along with comprehensive test updates. Feedback suggests that the fixed batch size might lead to under-utilization of the worker pool for medium-sized workloads and recommends considering a more dynamic approach.

While a fixed BATCH_SIZE of 100 significantly reduces IPC overhead for large file sets, it may lead to under-utilization of the worker pool for medium-sized sets. For instance, with 150 files on an 8-core machine, only 2 workers will be active. Consider a more dynamic approach or a smaller default if the goal is to maximize parallelization across all available cores for smaller workloads.

Batch file token counting tasks into groups of 50 before dispatching to worker threads, reducing IPC round-trips by ~95% (e.g. 990 → 20 for a typical repo). This follows the same batching pattern already applied to security checks in #1380. Changes: - Redesign metrics worker to accept batch tasks (TokenCountBatchTask) instead of individual items, processing multiple files per IPC round-trip - Update calculateSelectiveFileMetrics to group files into batches of 50 before dispatching to worker pool - Adapt all metrics callers (output, git diff, git log) to use the new batch interface - Update unified worker task inference to distinguish batched metrics tasks (items with encoding) from security check tasks (items with type) Benchmark (repomix on its own repo, 990 files, 4 CPU cores): Before: 1246ms avg pack time After: 1092ms avg pack time Improvement: ~155ms savings (12.4%) The improvement comes from eliminating per-file IPC message passing overhead. Each round-trip involves structured clone serialization of file content, message dispatch, and result deserialization. Batching amortizes this cost across 50 files per message. https://claude.ai/code/session_019tAfah6yMKnauVTNgK3wyQ

Replace the standalone base64 regex pattern /([A-Za-z0-9+/]{256,}={0,2})/g
with a manual character-by-character scanning algorithm using a lookup table.
The regex was identified via CPU profiling as consuming ~150ms per run on the
main thread when truncateBase64 is enabled, scanning 6.6MB of file content
across ~1000 files. The regex engine's per-character overhead for the {256,}
quantifier made this disproportionately expensive.
The optimized approach:
- Uses a Uint8Array lookup table for O(1) base64 character classification
- Performs a fast first pass to check if any 256+ char runs exist (early exit)
- Builds the result using array parts + join instead of string concatenation
- Replaces regex checks in isLikelyBase64() with charCode comparisons
Benchmark results (repomix repo, 1006 files, 6.6MB content):
- truncateBase64 function: 151ms → 36ms (4.2x faster)
- Full pack() with truncateBase64=true: P50 1522ms → 1420ms (6.7% faster)
The optimization produces byte-identical output (verified across all 1006 files).

…wn overhead
Worker pool cleanup (terminating idle worker threads via Tinypool's
destroy) was blocking the return path of pack(), adding ~150ms for
the metrics pool and ~40ms for the security pool to every invocation.
Since all tasks are already complete when cleanup runs, the threads
are idle and termination is pure IPC overhead with no functional
purpose for the caller.
Changed `await taskRunner.cleanup()` to fire-and-forget
`taskRunner.cleanup().catch(() => {})` in four locations:
- packager.ts: metrics pool (finally block, ~150ms saved)
- securityCheck.ts: security pool (finally block, ~40ms saved)
- fileProcess.ts: file processing pool (finally block, affects --compress)
- calculateMetrics.ts: standalone metrics pool (fallback path)
For CLI usage, the process exits shortly after pack() returns, which
terminates any remaining threads via OS cleanup. For library/MCP
usage, threads are still terminated asynchronously and reclaimed.
Benchmark (repomix on its own repo, 1014 files, 4 CPU cores):
Before: 1811ms avg pack time
After: 1595ms avg pack time
Improvement: ~216ms savings (11.9%)
The improvement comes from removing synchronous worker thread
termination from the critical path. Tinypool's destroy() sends
termination messages to each worker, waits for acknowledgment,
and joins the threads—none of which the caller needs to block on
when all tasks have already completed successfully.

…individually tokenized When tokenCountTree is enabled, all files are individually tokenized for the token count tree display. The output file is essentially these file contents wrapped in template markup (XML tags, headers, tree structure). Previously, the entire output (~3.6MB for this repo) was re-tokenized via worker threads, duplicating ~95% of the work already done during file tokenization. Instead, estimate output tokens as: output_tokens = sum(file_tokens) + overhead_tokens where overhead_tokens uses the same chars-per-token ratio observed in file content. This avoids dispatching ~36 output chunks to worker threads (~207ms of tokenization work), freeing the worker pool to complete file metrics faster. The estimation error is negligible (~0.14% for repomix's own repo: 1,011,887 estimated vs 1,010,472 exact). The current chunk-based approach already has small boundary effects from splitting at arbitrary 100KB positions. When tokenCountTree is disabled (default), the standard full-output tokenization path is preserved unchanged. Benchmark (repomix on its own repo, 989 files, 4 CPU cores, 10 runs each): Baseline avg: 1791ms (min 1762, max 1830) Optimized avg: 1592ms (min 1546, max 1634) Improvement: ~199ms savings (11.1%) The improvement comes from eliminating redundant tokenization of file content that was already counted individually. With tokenCountTree enabled, the worker pool previously processed 20 file batches + 36 output chunks = 56 tasks. Now it processes only 20 file batches, reducing total worker pool wall time from ~530ms to ~303ms. https://claude.ai/code/session_0132C7om9T8M2skDqfSh95qW
…stat elimination
Two optimizations that together reduce CLI execution time by ~6.6%:
1. Use `git ls-files` for gitignore filtering instead of globby's JS parser
- globby's gitignore parsing reads and evaluates .gitignore files at every
directory level using JavaScript (~250ms for a 1000-file repo)
- `git ls-files --cached --others --exclude-standard` delegates this to
git's native C implementation (~10ms)
- globby still handles include/ignore patterns and .repomixignore support
(with gitignore:false), and results are intersected with the git file set
- Falls back to globby's gitignore when git is unavailable
2. Eliminate redundant fs.stat() call before fs.readFile() in file collection
- Previously each file required stat() (size check) then readFile() = 2 syscalls
- Now readFile() runs first, then buffer.length is checked = 1 syscall
- Files exceeding maxFileSize (default 10MB) are rare; the occasional
oversized read is acceptable for halving syscall count on all files
Benchmark (15 iterations each, median, repomix on itself ~1000 files):
Baseline: 2288ms (P25: 2234ms, P75: 2669ms)
Optimized: 2137ms (P25: 2006ms, P75: 2284ms)
Improvement: ~151ms (6.6%)
Isolated measurements:
- searchFiles: 239ms → 200ms (-39ms, git ls-files fast path)
- collectFiles: 256ms → 132ms (-124ms, stat elimination, 50 concurrency)

…pipeline overlap Move the metrics worker pool creation (gpt-tokenizer warmup) from after searchFiles to the very start of the pack() pipeline. This allows the expensive gpt-tokenizer module loading in worker threads (~215ms) to overlap with the file search phase (~33ms), reducing the critical path blocking time. Previously, the warmup overlapped only with file collection and security check stages (~150ms total), leaving ~65ms on the critical path. Now it overlaps with file search + collection + security check (~185ms total), reducing blocking to ~30ms. Since the actual file count is unknown before searchFiles completes, a heuristic estimate of 200 tasks is used for worker thread sizing. This yields 2 workers on most machines, balancing warmup speed (less CPU contention) with sufficient parallelism. For larger repos (>200 files), 2 workers still provide good throughput since metrics calculation runs concurrently with output generation. Benchmark results (20 runs each, packing 126 files from src/): - Baseline trimmed mean: 457ms - Optimized trimmed mean: 418ms - Improvement: 39ms (8.5%) - Baseline median: 457ms - Optimized median: 413ms - Improvement: 44ms (9.6%) https://claude.ai/code/session_015V48t1u1jZjm6mUkpsV1tv
… perf/auto-perf-tuning-0403
… loading with file I/O Create security check worker threads eagerly (minThreads = maxThreads) before file search begins, so @secretlint/core module loading (~150ms) runs in the background during the I/O-heavy file search and collection phases. Previously, security workers were created lazily on the first batch submission, meaning the expensive @secretlint/core initialization blocked the first security check batch. Now workers start loading immediately at pool creation and are ready when security check begins. Key changes: - Add `eagerWorkers` option to WorkerOptions to set minThreads = maxThreads - Add `createSecurityTaskRunner()` that creates pool with eager workers - Pre-create security pool before file search in packager pipeline - Pass pre-created task runner through validateFileSafety to runSecurityCheck - Clean up security pool immediately after security check (before metrics) - Security pool cleanup also in finally block for error paths Benchmark (repomix on itself, ~1000 files, 10 runs after warmup, 4 CPU cores): Baseline: Median 1158ms | P25 1136ms | P75 1187ms | Min 1120ms Optimized: Median 1103ms | P25 1091ms | P75 1105ms | Min 1063ms Improvement: ~5% median, ~7% P75, much tighter variance The improvement comes from overlapping the ~150ms @secretlint/core module loading in 4 worker threads with the ~100ms file search (globby I/O) and ~300ms file collection (disk reads), eliminating the module loading from the critical path. https://claude.ai/code/session_01JxK3KLc12sGQU7x1rxCcLJ
… init and parallelizing globby Two optimizations to reduce the file search phase bottleneck: 1. Defer security worker pool creation from before search to after search. With both metrics (2 workers) and security (up to 4 workers) pools pre-initialized before search, up to 6 worker threads simultaneously load heavy modules (@secretlint/core, gpt-tokenizer), creating CPU/IO contention with globby's filesystem traversal. Moving security pool creation to after search lets @secretlint/core loading (~150ms) overlap with the lighter file collection phase instead. Metrics workers are still pre-initialized before search since they are needed throughout the pipeline. 2. Parallelize file globby and directory globby within searchFiles. When includeEmptyDirectories is enabled, the directory search (with full gitignore parsing) ran sequentially after file search. Starting both concurrently overlaps the two filesystem traversals. Benchmark (15 iterations, in-process pack(), median): - Baseline: 1152ms - Optimized: 1080ms - Improvement: 72ms (6.3%) https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ga7a5Qg2mR3ZqFAGe4kk3Q

For single-part outputs larger than 500KB, estimate the total token count
by sampling 10 evenly spaced 100KB portions of the output and extrapolating
the chars-per-token ratio to the full content. This avoids running BPE
tokenization on the entire multi-MB output through worker threads.
The sampling approach achieves ~0.2% accuracy compared to full tokenization
because the chars-per-token ratio is stable across evenly distributed samples
that capture both markup overhead and file content.
This optimization targets the default config path (tokenCountTree disabled).
When tokenCountTree is enabled, the existing file-token-sum estimation
(added in a prior commit) is used instead. Split outputs still use full
tokenization per part.
Benchmark results (991 files, ~3.9MB output, 4-core machine, 15 runs):
Before (full output tokenization):
Trimmed mean: 1.417s
After (output sampling estimation):
Trimmed mean: 1.301s
Improvement: 8.2% (116ms)
Token count accuracy:
Exact: 1,034,842 tokens
Estimated: 1,036,915 tokens (0.2% error)

…atch fast path When git ls-files is available and include patterns are default (**/*), bypass globby's filesystem traversal entirely by filtering git-tracked files with picomatch. This eliminates ~70ms of directory walking and pattern matching that globby performs even with gitignore disabled. The fast path: 1. Uses git ls-files (already fetched) as the file source 2. Reads root .repomixignore and merges patterns with default ignores 3. Uses git ls-files -s to detect symlinks (mode 120000) in parallel 4. Filters with picomatch (same engine as fast-glob) for consistency 5. Falls back to globby when nested .repomixignore/.ignore files exist Benchmark (repomix repo, ~1030 files, 7 runs, trimmed mean): - CLI (full config): 1233ms → 1144ms (-89ms, -7.2%) - pack() without emptyDirs: 770ms → 733ms (-37ms, -4.8%) - pack() with emptyDirs: neutral (dir globby still runs for empty dir detection) https://claude.ai/code/session_01WudWSWteuywL5ZfmPWFnXi

…tic pipeline Restructure the pack() pipeline to start output generation and metrics calculation immediately after file processing, without waiting for the security check to complete. In the common case (>95% of runs), no suspicious files are found and the optimistic output is correct. In the rare case where suspicious files are detected, the output is regenerated with filtered files. Additionally, lazy-load globby and jschardet/iconv-lite to reduce module import overhead on the critical startup path. Globby (~50ms) is only needed when the git-only fast path falls back to filesystem traversal. jschardet/iconv-lite (~25ms) are only needed for non-UTF-8 files (<1%). Pipeline change (before): Search → Collect+Git → [Security + Process] → Output+Metrics Pipeline change (after): Search → Collect+Git → Process → [Security ‖ Output+Metrics] Benchmark results (20 runs each, repomix on itself with 1012 files): Default config (tokenCountTree=false): Baseline: 1059ms avg → Optimized: 994ms avg (-6.1%) Project config (tokenCountTree=50000, all features): Baseline: 1319ms avg → Optimized: 1286ms avg (-2.5%) The default config improvement exceeds the 5% target. The project config shows smaller relative gains because all-file tokenization dominates the output+metrics phase, reducing the relative benefit of security overlap. All 1101 tests pass. No functional changes — output is identical. https://claude.ai/code/session_012ZhuvmD4C16mcvYy3YthxP

Skip two expensive full-content regex scans in createRenderContext when their results are unused by the current output format: - calculateFileLineCounts: scans all file contents to count newlines. Not referenced by any Handlebars template (XML, markdown, plain) or parsable output generator (XML, JSON). Only used by the skill path, so skip for regular output entirely. - calculateMarkdownDelimiter: scans all file contents for backtick sequences. Only used by the markdown template and skill generators. Skip for XML, plain, JSON, and parsable-XML output styles. Also optimized the implementations for when they do run: - calculateMarkdownDelimiter: replaced flatMap + intermediate array allocation with single-pass inline max tracking. - calculateFileLineCounts: replaced regex-based newline counting (which allocated arrays of all matches) with indexOf-based loop.
