Hi all,
Has anyone considered using regrtest's -j option in the buildbot configuration to speed up the test runs? Antoine Pitrou pointed out that even for single CPU slaves, this could be a win due to the number of tests that spend time sleeping or waiting on I/O. And on slaves with multiple CPUs it would clearly be even better. eg, I don't know what hardware is actually in the Solaris slave (bot loewis-sun), but if it has the full 4 UltraSPARCs that it could, then running with -j4 or -j5 there might bring its runtime down from nearly 100 minutes to 20 or 25 - competitive with some of the more reasonable slaves.
