XRay used to struggle reading large log files. It turned out the bottleneck was primarily caused by the reallocation happens when appending log entries into a std::vector.
This patch reserves the memory space ahead-of-time since the number of entries is known for most cases. Making llvm-xray runs 1.8 times faster and uses 1.4 times less physical memory when reading large (~2.6GB) log files.
Here are the benchmark numbers (benchmarking using hyperfine):
