💡 What: Replaced Bash regular expression matching (
=~) with native glob substring matching (== *...*) inside thevpn-auto.shserver filtering loop. Added a journal entry to.jules/bolt.mddocumenting this optimization.🎯 Why: In tight loops filtering potentially hundreds of VPN servers, evaluating regex patterns introduces significant overhead in Bash because the regex engine must compile the pattern and perform matching on every iteration. Glob string matching is substantially faster as it operates natively without that compilation overhead.
📊 Impact: Noticeably reduces the execution time of
vpn-auto.shwhen parsing the large VPN server list. For 10,000 iterations, regex matching takes ~0.220s compared to ~0.051s for substring matching (a ~4.3x improvement).🔬 Measurement: Confirmed execution speed using
timeand validated the script's syntax withshellcheck. Executed Python integration tests viapytestto ensure no surrounding functionality was broken.PR created automatically by Jules for task 2381712744537596099 started by @WHYCRASH
