I'm trying to run LilyPond in Google Cloud Functions <https://cloud.google.com/functions/>, and execution is ridiculously slow (like 40 seconds compilation vs. 2 seconds on my laptop). A Google Cloud engineer tested it and reported the following:
"The culprit is that the lilypond binary has a bit sub-optimal file access pattern (opening the same file thousands of times and reading it byte by byte, causing a syscall flood - nearly 500K lseek and read operations). On a local machine, because of this issue, it will spend about 1s in I/O syscalls, which is half of the total execution time. This currently does not play nice with our systems, getting it from 1s to over half a minute." Anybody know why this behavior is exhibited? Is this something that might be within the power of a programmer new to LilyPond development to fix? _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
