The main open point right now AFAICS is to make --parallel
work with
the multiple-files-at-once build modes for machines that have
enough
RAM. This is rather simple, but someone has to do it. But
apart from
that, I think that the current state is relatively fine form a
performance point of view.
Wait, what does --parallel do if it doesn't compile multiple
files at
once?
It currently only works when building with
`--build-mode=singleFile`, so compiling individual files in
parallel instead of compiling chunks of files in parallel,
which would be the ideal.
If by "the ideal" you mean "compile the fastest", then you don't
want to compile single files in parallel. I measured across
multiple projects, and compiling per package (in the D sense, not
the dub one) was fastest. Which is why it's the default with
reggae.
