That went quite well. Total build time was a little over 23 hours. chromium itself ended up on the fastest machine, where it took somewhat over 9 hours and finished well before the end of the overall build. Unsurprising observation with -p/1: Hosts get even more overbooked, since parallel jobs end up sharing the host with long-running other builds (ghc, pypy, etc). Probably inefficient, but no ill effects. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
