Hi,
I looked a bit into the slowness of the OS X Jenkins Cog VM with Monticello. The problem exists and it is reproducible.
I performed the following experiments using the following script:
Time millisecondsToRun:
[ 1 to: 100 do: [:x |
| window |
window := MCWorkingCopyBrowser new show.
window delete ] ]
I ran it on the same image using the following vms (on Mac OS X Lion):
- Jenkins VM from 31.08.2011
- Cog VM r2489
I ran the scenario twice with two different setups:
1. I placed the image in an empty folder:
Cog VM 2389: 4808 ms
Jenkins VM: 7345 ms
2. I places the image in a folder that already had a large package-cache with 7400 mcz files:
Cog VM: 4867 ms
Jenkins VM: 50754 ms
So:
- even if there is no package cache, the Jenkins VM seems to perform 1.5 times slower
- when there is a package-cache, it becomes hardly unusable.
Cheers,
Doru
