Right now the fast testsuite doesn't have zero failures (it has about
20), we'll need to get that down to zero first. The fast testsuite
currently runs in about 8 minutes on a fast Linux machine; it was
about 5 minutes when I first did it, so we probably need some tuning
there. I have no idea why the build is currently slower than it was
(indeed I wasn't aware that it was), so we should look into that too.
BTW, does the testsuite work with -j2 or similar? It's something that
very obviously would benefit from multiple cores.
Yes, allegedly:
make THREADS=2
should run tests in parallel on a dual-core. I haven't tried this, the code was
contributed by Esa Ilari Vuokko a while back.
Generally, it'd be great if the validate script would by default or as
an option use parallel builds.
Absolutely.
Cheers,
Simon
