Hrmph. Well something weird is going on, but it might indeed involve me being confused about debug options of the compiler itself. How can one find out which build options were used for clang/llvm compiler + libraries? My earlier reports were from a little machine at home, so let's try again on an i9-9900 CPU @ 3.10GHz (a bit snappier) running Debian 12, again using packages from apt.llvm.org: 17 ~198s 16 ~14s 15 ~11s OK so even if we ignore the wild outlier it is getting significantly slower. But... huh, there goes the big jump, but at a different version than I saw with FBSD's packages.
