Following on from commit dae35bac, 01-03-2010, "sort: inform the system about our input access pattern" apply the same hint to all appropriate utils. This currently gives around a 5% speedup for reading large files from fast flash devices on GNU/Linux. * src/base64.c: Call fadvise (..., FADVISE_SEQUENTIAL); * src/cat.c: Likewise. * src/cksum.c: Likewise. * src/comm.c: Likewise. * src/cut.c: Likewise. * src/expand.c: Likewise. * src/fmt.c: Likewise. * src/fold.c: Likewise. * src/join.c: Likewise. * src/md5sum.c: Likewise. * src/nl.c: Likewise. * src/paste.c: Likewise. * src/pr.c: Likewise. * src/ptx.c: Likewise. * src/shuf.c: Likewise. * src/sum.c: Likewise. * src/tee.c: Likewise. * src/tr.c: Likewise. * src/tsort.c: Likewise. * src/unexpand.c: Likewise. * src/uniq.c: Likewise. * src/wc.c: Likewise, unless we don't actually read().
