Khem was asking if anyone had seen a >30% difference in build time for qemuarm compared to other machines. I don't when building on my system: rmacleod@yow-rmacleod-lx3 b/c-i-m-x86 $ cat x86 real 43m29.142s user 0m19.887s sys 0m4.110s rmacleod@yow-rmacleod-lx3 b/c-i-m-x86 $ cat arm real 42m58.185s user 0m19.546s sys 0m3.867s This machine is relatively isolated in that there are no other users. The arm build was done second and I didn't pre-populate the downloads but so that may account for the 30 second difference. I wasn't using sstate for either build.
Thanks for this infor Randy, really appreciated, I think I will also look at the h/w angle.
