Use access() instead of stat() when possible
We were using the stat() system call in quite a few places when we didn't actually need anything the stat struct returned- we were simply checking for file existence. access() will be more efficient in those cases. Before (strace pacman -Ss pacman): % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 33.16 0.005987 0 19016 stat64 After: % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 34.85 0.003863 0 12633 1 access 7.95 0.000881 0 6391 7 stat64 Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
