Could you run those same tests on a local disk? It would be fun to
see if it's only you Sun guys who have NFS who are taking the hit ..

Hi *,

so - finally got around doing some build-time benchmarking.

Setup:

NFS volume on Solaris10, 4NT build on WinXP SP2, Opteron 2.2GHz
machine, 100MBps NIC, msvc 7.1.

Both src & solver on the remote volume, as well as compiler. This
should be about the worst-case scenario we've got here in Hamburg.

Plain out-of-the-box m198 build, from scratch, without CVS checkout,
but _with_ all Sun internal source:
37.5 hrs

Patched m198 build (kendy's makedepend improvements, applied
strip-guards script + some fixes for formely unreachable, now
build-breaking include statements), again with all Sun internal
sources:
50.5 hrs

That's about 35%, or one third, increase in build time.

Well. Looks like we should wait for MSVC 8, before dumping all
external guards - what should be safe, right now, would clearly be to
gradually pass out external header guards, e.g. by removing them en
passant during bug fixing, or not introducing new guards, when adding
include statements.

Cheers,
