memo: comparing pbuilder with tmpfs and cowbuilder
Test: build GNU hello 20 times with pbuilder/cowbuilder
pbuilder (with tmpfs)
real 9m11.320s
user 5m10.215s
sys 1m21.989s
cowbuilder
real 8m31.191s
user 4m27.629s
sys 1m15.661s
Conclusion: probably it's better to use cowbuiler (at least for me)
Last time I tried pbuilder wih tmpfs, it was wasting time copying files (I think it was the apt cache)
ReplyDeleteProbably yes, even if apt cache is in tmpfs, every time it is extracted and it costs.
