Here's a flamegraph of where git's test suite spends its time on my box: https://vm.nix.is/~avar/noindex/git-tests.svg
I hacked up a script for this today to plot trace2 production data, as noted there it's at: https://github.com/avar/FlameGraph/tree/stackcollapse-git-tr2-event What are flamegraphs? See http://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html As noted in TODOs in the script there's various stuff I'd like to do better, and this also shows how we need a lot more trace regions to get granular data. But it's already quite cool, and I'll keep improving it. I'll submit a PR to Brendan's parent repo once I'm happy enough with it, I figure it makes more sense there than in git.git, but maybe we'd eventually want to teach the test suite to optionally use something like this.
