Am I just imagining this? It's more of a perforce question than a git
question I'm afraid.

git-p4 seems to be quite slow sometimes at submitting changes. At least
for me, it seems to be down to the generation of the diff, which is done
with "p4 diff -du ...".

If I do "p4 diff ..." or "p4 diff -dc ..." then the response comes back
straight away, and seems to be based purely on the currently checked out
files.

If instead, though, I do "p4 diff -du" then it appears to do a diff of
every file, or something. It's able to spot files that I haven't
actually checked out, but is *much* slower.

Does anyone else get this or is it just me?

% time p4 diff -du ...

real	0m9.082s
user	0m6.560s
sys	0m0.952s

% time p4 diff -dc ...
... - file(s) not opened on this client.

real	0m0.021s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s
