Subject: font regression build regression



Has anybody else seen a huge slow-down in building fonts?  They
used to whiz by on my screen in a minute or so, but now it takes
about 10 minutes, and more to the point, it involves a massive
amount of disk activity.  My core2quad desktop couldn't play an
mp3 file while building fonts with -j3 !

Might it be building the same font multiple times (with different
threads creating and deleting the same temporary files?), or are
we generating fonts at twice the resolution of the previous one,
or...?

It's been a few weeks since I tried building stuff from scratch,
which leaves a large window of work on the build system and fonts.



Is this with a straight make ?  I ran it yesterday and didn't see a 
slowdown, and I always check the time it takes.

I did a make on my 1cpu LilyDev VM (when I am work) on 1GB of memory
today and didn't see any significant slow down on a 'make'. It takes
about 10 minutes.

Yes, a straight make, after completely removing the build dir and
running autogen.sh --noconfigure.  Maybe my hard disk is just
about to die.

I've checked now and make from scratch took 6 minutes, as usual on my machine.
