Hi everybody. I wonder how heavy the build processes are on the cpu..
I set up a single machine offering many different services (also including jenkins webapp) and I'm worrying a bit about overall performance when jenkins will enter production stage. Being a virtual machine, I will be able to add one virtual cpu if the load will be too much.. but I wonder if it also possible to set some configuration option so that the build processes are started with a high nice value. Another option I can think of would be to start jenkins main process with a nice value, but I don't know if that will be considered when jenkins will span the build processes. So.. 1) build processes can be run at a lower priority? 2) If yes, how? 3) build processes will be run one at a time or more than one in parallel? Could anybody please cast some light on this? Thank you and best regards.
