Josh measured against Libtool 1.5.x. Libtool 2.2.2 has a lot less overhead in compile mode than 1.5.x, see the numbers Ross posted, and the list archive of libtool-patches for several improvements including numbers; and we are currently working on improving things a bit more, targeting improvements that help all shells which support XSI extensions (and falling back to the slow code for other shells). While the multi-thousand line script can't get as fast as dolt -- after all, dolt isn't portable to non-bash, also there's functionality that libtool compile mode offers that dolt doesn't -- we expect compile mode to become fast enough that the overhead shouldn't be a big problem for practical use, and we expect that to come without the need for users to change their configure.ac scripts at all. Meanwhile, updating to 2.2.2 would be a good idea, its link mode has also become considerably faster than 1.5.x at least for some use cases. We would appreciate bug reports for particular remaining performance bottlenecks. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
