+----------+---------+--------+-------+ | OS | SmartOS | NetBSD | macOS | +----------+---------+--------+-------+ | Baseline | 12.5s | 10.3s | 3.0s | | Patched | 5.7s | 5.3s | 1.4s | +----------+---------+--------+-------+All of the builds were done on very different hardware so the OPSYS differences aren't interesting, but the patched times show a consistent 2x speedup regardless.
This makes a HUGE difference on slower hardware. For instance, here's benchmark/flops (I wasn't going to wait for Python to compile) on a 33 MHz m68030 running NetBSD-9.99.100:
=> Creating binary package /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All/flops-2.0.tgz
1625.10 real 672.92 user 749.24 sys
versus
=> Creating binary package /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All/flops-2.0.tgz
958.06 real 389.40 user 415.06 sys
Are there edge cases we should test, or are you running bulk builds with
this tree to shake things out?
