After bug 969215 and bug 1070442 were introduced, build speed has been improved.

Now it just rebuild necessary and modified app. Otherwise you can try P=1 make for parallel build (multiprocess)feature.

time make without P=1:

35.259 total

time make with P=1:

22.085 total

time make P=1 PRODUCTION=1: (make clean && P=1 PRODUCTION=1 make)

136.46s user 13.06s system 269% cpu 55.445 total



time make PRODUCTION=1: (make clean && PRODUCTION=1 make)

86.59s user 10.09s system 119% cpu 1:21.23 total

Test on my Mac. Enable P=1 can reduce building time even in production build.

During this month, I think there are a lot of patches which effected building time (ex: l10n will check potential errors and output more warning messages than before). However, I'm sure we have improvements comparing between PRODUCTION=1 P=1 and PRODUCTION=1 in current commit.

We are going to file follow-ups to improve build speed.

Mark as resolved fixed.
