Mike, Sorry for contributing to the off-topic discussion. I'll try to make up for it by posting some interesting data. I wanted to know if your changes improved speed on my system, and ran my own suite of benchmarks. I didn't actually bench incremental builds, since I wasted all my time benching the full ones, but I put together some charts and posted all the data along with them for inspection. <http://goo.gl/zXoniR> If I'm correct in saying so, I think the right way to run the current test suite is to do $ make clean && make && make test which means when I benchmarked `make test` with the current `master` tree, I ran /usr/bin/time on both the `make` and `make test` commands, appended both of those a file, and summed their output. If I was wrong in how I did that, then the `make test` bench is wrong and you didn't shave 3-4 seconds off the full build like I thought ;) My system software/specs: - Arch Linux w/ 3.16.0 kernel - i7-2620M CPU. During the builds my clock speed averaged 3.2 GHz. - 8GiB RAM - Crucial MX100 SSD - GCC compiler Also, I read your article. The bits about `ssl/d1_both.c` not being detected in the recursive make are scary. Ultimately it would probably end up wasting time more than anything - if the person who merges the code does a full `make clean` and runs the test suite before pulling anything, they should catch that. But without a CI server, of course, that's more time wasted trying to build broken code ...
