So, I’d love to see the numbers for 5 and 20 to double check that 10 is the right number to pick. This sort of refinement is trivial post checkin. > 3) various other *.exp fails didn't use runtest_file_p, especially the > gcc.misc-tests/ ones, tweaked those like struct-layout-1.exp or > plugin.exp so that only the first runtest instance to encounter those > runs all of the *.exp file serially > Regtested on x86_64-linux, ok for trunk? Ok. Please be around after you apply it to try and sort out any major fallout. If someone can check their target post checkin (or help out pre-checkin) and report back, that would be nice. Times before and post checkin with core count -j setting would be nice. I wonder if the libstdc++ problems can be sorted out merely by finding a way to sort them so the expensive ones come early (regexp -> 0regexp for example). Or, instead of sorting them by name, sort them by some other key (md5 per line). The idea then would be that the chance of all regexp tests being in one group is 0.
