Simplify and speed up del_ebin/1
It is faster and easier to use filename:split/1 and filename:join/1 than use four different 'filename' operations. Each call in the original call first flattens the input list, and then traverse the entire string to the end. So there are roughly 8 complete traversals. In comparison, filename:split/1 will traverse the input string twice (once to flatten, once to split) and filename:join/1 once. For background on why this optimization is worthwhile, here is the result of profiling the start-up of the run-time system on my computer (done before this optimization): $ $ERL_TOP/bin/erl -profile_boot . . . filename:join1/4 - 13573 : 13805 us erlang:finish_loading/1 - 27 : 19963 us filename:do_flatten/2 - 29337 : 49518 us erlang:prepare_loading/2 - 49 : 52270 us Note that filename:do_flatten/2 ends up in second place, almost as expensive as erlang:prepare_loading/2. Your mileage may vary, depending on the length of $ERL_TOP and the number of extra directories added to the path using $ERL_LIBS.
