Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I have a 6 core, 12 cpu Pentium. I previously stopped with -j10. Reading the above, I tried -j14 and -j18. Times for one run on a quiet system of 'test -jnn -ugui' with a fresh download and debug build were 3:55 (-j10), 3:48, and 3:53. Not much affect.
A more promising source of reduced running time on this system is shown by the last 4 finish times: 2:42 tarfile (:42), 3:13 zipfile (:43), 3:16 venv (:54), and 3:48 multiprocessing_spawn (2:29). If m._s. were split into files taking at most 40 seconds, I suspect the total running time would be perhaps 20 seconds less due to better CPU utilization. Currently, the total running time could be from about 30 seconds less to about 2 minutes more depending on when m._s. starts in a randomized run. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30263> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
