I retested the patch from 2024-04-07 (I think that's the one that "fixed

are:
gcc-14: 1% slower
clang-18: 3% faster
So with that, it doesn't seem very interesting.
I wonder whether the reason you're seing less benefit than Jelte is that - I'm
guessing - you now used ninja 1.12 and Jelte something older. Ninja 1.12
prioritizes building edges using a "critical path" heuristic, leading to
scheduling nodes with more incoming dependencies, and deeper in the dependency
graph earlier.
Yes! Very interesting!
With ninja 1.11 and gcc-14, I see the patch gives about a 17% speedup.
