Thanks, you're quite right CPU is not the limiting factor for the build.
Disk access and usage of swap when compiling
input/regression/collated-files slows down the build to a crawl for me.
Could we redistribute the regression test input files into
subfolders of say ~50 files each, possibly sorting them into
categories if it makes sense?
Wanted to do that for ages, but that's not something to get into
now. But this shouldn't be an issue -- don't we split it into
lists of IIRC 300 files? We had some kind of emergency bugfix
like that.
... yeah, see make/lysdoc-rules.make
You may want to look into that; perhaps changing the division from
300 to 50 would speed up the build?
