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.
