How much is 10% in terms of minutes and with what -j value? That depends on how long the build takes. For my 20 minute builds it was about 2 minutes faster. At the time, -j didn’t really effect build times once you got north of 4 because parallelism really sucked. Now it doesn’t suck and it scales much better and I suspect that the time savings would be tiny because it would be done at the same time as other things anyway, but I’ve not measured it directly. >> Creating a hack to do this is easy (which is how I measured it).

I’ll hang ten until clang35 is in so I can re-asses what’s going on with building it. Yea, and that file generation is a pita, or I’d have committed my changes a while ago... >> I tend to agree.

Yea, this isn’t a problem worth solving today. Warner
