##Foreword :
Disabling of filecheck is not actually possible because btw it cause the attachment.pm to malfunction and
any of pagespec that could contain a *mimetype* condition.

## How bad is it ?
So I tried on three pages to inline <tt>!mimetype(image/*)</tt> while I allowed attachment of <tt>mimetype(image/*)</tt>
My profiling tests in the bug report shows that most of the time is spend in the "Fallback using file" block code,
I tried to comment that block and see how it'll perform. Obviously this is much much faster ... but is the mimetype
discovered using only *File::MimeInfo* ?
Dumping some strings before return to STDERR, rebuilding . This is just a [[!toggle id="code-test" text="dumpdebug adding"]]
[[!toggleable id="code-test" text="""

if (! defined $file) {
return IkiWiki::ErrorReason->new("file does not exist");
}

# First, try File::Mimeinfo. This is fast, but doesn't recognise

The results dump to stderr (or a file called... 'say *mime*) looks like this :
<pre>
--- match_mimetype (/usr/share/ikiwiki/attachment/ikiwiki/jquery.fileupload-ui.js)
xxx MIME unknown (text/plain - image/* - (?i-xsm:^image\/.*$) )
--- match_mimetype (/usr/share/ikiwiki/locale/fr/directives/ikiwiki/directive/fortune.mdwn)
xxx MIME unknown (text/plain - image/* - (?i-xsm:^image\/.*$) )
--- match_mimetype (/usr/share/ikiwiki/locale/fr/basewiki/shortcuts.mdwn)
xxx MIME unknown (text/plain - image/* - (?i-xsm:^image\/.*$)
--- match_mimetype (/usr/share/ikiwiki/smiley/smileys/alert.png)
xxx MIME unknown (application/octet-stream - image/* - (?i-xsm:^image\/.*$) )
--- match_mimetype (/usr/share/ikiwiki/attachment/ikiwiki/images/ui-bg_flat_75_ffffff_40x100.png)
xxx MIME unknown (application/octet-stream - image/* - (?i-xsm:^image\/.*$)
</pre>
<tt>---</tt> prepend signals the file on analysis<br/>
<tt>xxx</tt> prepend signals a returns failure : mime is unknown, the match is a failure<br/>
<tt>vvv</tt> prepend signals a return success.<br/>
This is nasty-scary results ! Something missed me or this mime-filecheck is plain nuts ?
*Question 1* : How many files have been analysed : **3055** (yet on a tiny tiny wiki)
<pre>grep "^ --- " mime | wc -l
3055
</pre>
*Question 2* : How many time it fails : *all the time*
<pre>
grep "^ xxx " mime | wc -l
3055
</pre>
*Question 1bis* : Doh btw , how many files have been re-analysed ? ** 2835 ** OMG !!
<pre>grep "^ --- " mime | sort -u | wc -l
220
</pre>
## Conclusion
- Only the system command *file -bi* works. While it is **should** be easy on the cpu , it's also hard on the I/O -> VM :(
- Something nasty with the mime implementation and/or my system configuration -> Hints ? :D
- Need to cache during the rebuild : a same page needs not being rechecked for its mime while it's locked !
