> Subject: [PATCH 1/8] ShellPkg/Comp: add file buffering
> 
> The COMP shell command compares two files byte for byte. In order to retrieve
> the bytes to compare, it currently invokes
> gEfiShellProtocol->ReadFile() on both files, using a single-byte buffer
> every time. This is very inefficient; the underlying
> EFI_FILE_PROTOCOL.Read() function may be costly.
> 
> Read both file operands in chunks of "PcdShellFileOperationSize" bytes.
> Draw bytes for comparison from the internal read-ahead buffers.
> 
> Some ad-hoc measurements on my laptop, using OVMF, and the 4KB default of
> "PcdShellFileOperationSize":
> 
> - When comparing two identical 1MB files that are served by EnhancedFatDxe
>   on top of VirtioScsiDxe, this patch brings no noticeable improvement;
>   the comparison completes in <1s both before and after.
> 
> - When comparing two identical 1MB files served by VirtioFsDxe, the
>   comparison time improves from 2 minutes 25 seconds to <1s.
