I'm sending these notes to the list since they might be useful to others
and it archives them.
Timing a build with license.bbclass:
consisting of 4847 tasks:
real 107m23.857s
user 376m31.640s
sys 46m51.020s
Without license.bbclass:
4409 tasks:
real 107m46.881s
user 369m6.670s
sys 46m19.890s
Without the setscene task and without license.bbclass:
3970 tasks:
real 105m36.940s
user 364m6.900s
sys 45m33.950s
which makes sense as setscene is a critical path dependency whilst the
license checks are not.
So a 120 second reduction for a drop of 439 tasks so a 0.27 second
overhead per task assuming they were all critical path. Numbers from the
graph suggested a 0.5 second task overhead so perhaps 50% were critical
path.
Interesting numbers and it suggests the situation isn't as bad as the
graph makes out though.
Cheers,
Richard
