Let me add some data, attached is a graph (logscale y) showing the runtime of tests before and after my changes (including a new patch for c++). There is virtually no change for tests running shorter than 50s, only slowly running tests have been split. Now, there are only very few slow tests remaining: gcc_trunk/obj.new> find . -name "*.log" | xargs grep " completed in " | sort -n -k 5 | tail -n 10 ./gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc.log:testcase /data/vjoost/gnu/gcc_trunk/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/torture/dg-torture.exp completed in 521 seconds ./x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++.log:testcase /data/vjoost/gnu/gcc_trunk/gcc/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++-dg/conformance.exp completed in 530 seconds ./x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++.log:testcase /data/vjoost/gnu/gcc_trunk/gcc/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++-dg/conformance.exp completed in 553 seconds ./x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libgomp/testsuite/libgomp.log:testcase /data/vjoost/gnu/gcc_trunk/gcc/libgomp/testsuite/libgomp.fortran/fortran.exp completed in 561 seconds ./gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc.log:testcase /data/vjoost/gnu/gcc_trunk/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/compile/compile.exp completed in 625 seconds ./x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++.log:testcase /data/vjoost/gnu/gcc_trunk/gcc/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++-dg/conformance.exp completed in 683 seconds ./gcc/testsuite/g++/g++.log:testcase /data/vjoost/gnu/gcc_trunk/gcc/gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/dg.exp completed in 702 seconds ./x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++.log:testcase /data/vjoost/gnu/gcc_trunk/gcc/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++-dg/conformance.exp completed in 726 seconds ./gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc.log:testcase /data/vjoost/gnu/gcc_trunk/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/execute/execute.exp completed in 752 seconds ./x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++.log:testcase /data/vjoost/gnu/gcc_trunk/gcc/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++-dg/conformance.exp completed in 904 seconds They, of course, limit the ultimate speedup.
