BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 6 minutes 4 seconds

on an old i7-6700k (with hyperthreading disabled, otherwise its stock if i remember correctly).

However i cheated. I built on a ramdisk and also redirected the console output to a file. The NB build prints so much that this alone can be a bottleneck on some shells.

Ramdisks are an old habit from back when SSDs were unreliable (and HDDs slow) while RAM was one of the cheapest components in my workstation. Got a bit out of fashion when NVMe arrived, but its still often the fastest way you can build things.


have a nice retirement and may the builds never fail :)

best regards,
michael

Just for my curiosity I'd like to know how long it takes you to compile NB 
using AdoptOpenJDK-11.0.11+9 and Ant 1.10. I compiled what I found at 
https://github.com/apache/netbeans. Here are my results:

System 1:
4th gen i7-4770 @3.4GHz
16 GB RAM
768 GB SSD drive w/ SATA interface
18 minutes

System 2 (my retirement present to myself):
11th gen i9-11900 @2.5GHz (increases to 5.0GHz on demand)
32 GB RAM
NVMe 1TB drive
11 minutes

In both cases the folder where the code was being compiled was excluded from the 
anti-virus software, Windows Security. On system 2 leaving the anti-virus turned on for 
the folder, it added just under 3 minutes. The disk access and I/O in general is 
considered slower in Windows as compared to other operating systems. One of those 
"Everyone knows this" that I'd like to prove or disprove.

I'd be curious about performance on Linux and on m1 Macs with and without 
anti-virus software running.

Thanks,

Ken
