[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 596 bytes --]

As suggested, I'm filing this in a new bug report for wider review.

The updated patch attached.

The previous discussion was in bug#64735, and the benchmarks (which more 
or less hold for the new patch as well) can be viewed here (last table): 
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=64735#506. Except the new 
version somehow performs a little better at read-process-output-max=4096 
as well, despite seemingly doing more.

Let me know if I DRYed this too much, or if there are better names for 
the extracted common routines, or etc. Or for the new variable 
(read-process-output-fast).

Here are the previously discussed patches, collected in one place for 
easier review.

As explained, the last one is more experimental, a possible alternative 
to bumping read-process-output-max to 65536.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Go around calling the default process filter (reducing GC
 churn)

Instead of allocating strings and passing them to the filter, passing
the char buffer to a C function implementing the same logic.

* src/process.c (read_process_output_before_insert)
(read_process_output_after_insert): New functions, extracted from
internal-default-process-filter.
(Finternal_default_process_filter): Use them.
(read_and_insert_process_output): New function.  Use them.
(read_process_output_fast): New variable.
(read_process_output): Use it to choose how to insert (bug#66020).

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Remember the value of read_process_output_max when a
 process is created

* src/process.c (read_process_output): Use it.
(create_process): Save the value of read_process_output_max to it when
the process is created (bug#66020).
(create_process): Make sure not to reduce the pipe's buffer, only
increase it if our value is higher than the one set by the OS.

* src/process.h (Lisp_Process): Add field readmax.
