 Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2018 8:42 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Chromium compilation takes almost 6 hours |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm running a Thinkpad W530 with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz + 16Go of RAM
Chromium used to take:
| Code: | Tue Jul 22 17:53:31 2014 >>> www-client/chromium-35.0.1916.153
merge time: 53 minutes and 14 seconds. |
And now it takes:
| Code: | Wed May 9 01:39:52 2018 >>> www-client/chromium-66.0.3359.139
merge time: 5 hours, 44 minutes and 53 seconds.
Mon Jun 25 04:53:45 2018 >>> www-client/chromium-67.0.3396.87
merge time: 5 hours, 58 minutes and 36 seconds. |
When Vivaldi:
| Code: | Sun Jun 24 22:21:22 2018 >>> www-client/vivaldi-1.15.1147.47_p1
merge time: 17 seconds. |
And Firefox:
| Code: | Tue May 15 10:16:23 2018 >>> www-client/firefox-52.8.0
merge time: 22 minutes and 2 seconds. |
What is it inside that justify so much time compare to other browsers? Thanks for your insights

| Can you post the compiler flags for all browsers. |

You are comparing two versions built four years apart. Even if your hardware is unchanged, the browser has been extensively modified in those four years.
Modern browsers are disgustingly bloated because of the quest to reinvent everything as a web app. Slow build times are one symptom of this. | samidarko wrote: | When Vivaldi: | Code: | Sun Jun 24 22:21:22 2018 >>> www-client/vivaldi-1.15.1147.47_p1

This appears to be a prebuilt binary. Since you are only unpacking and copying, it will install very quickly. | samidarko wrote: | And Firefox:

This one is interesting. The major browsers are all notorious for bundling libraries that they should not bundle. Perhaps Firefox has been more thoroughly unbundled than Chromium.
Please post the output of emerge --pretend --verbose www-client/firefox www-client/chromium. |

In last 8 months chromium compile time almost doubled ( its ryzen 7 compile time):
| Code: | chromium: Mon Oct 9 10:08:10 2017: 1 hour, 24 minutes, 47 seconds
chromium: Mon Oct 9 13:46:57 2017: 1 hour, 25 minutes, 25 seconds
chromium: Wed Oct 18 11:36:01 2017: 1 hour, 26 minutes, 13 seconds
chromium: Sat Jan 13 12:38:29 2018: 1 hour, 39 minutes, 37 seconds
chromium: Tue Jan 16 20:24:41 2018: 1 hour, 39 minutes, 48 seconds
chromium: Tue Mar 13 19:22:13 2018: 1 hour, 51 minutes, 15 seconds
chromium: Sun Apr 1 11:37:31 2018: 2 hours, 11 minutes, 1 second
chromium: Wed May 2 14:14:28 2018: 2 hours, 19 minutes, 5 seconds
chromium: Sun Jun 3 19:36:42 2018: 2 hours, 14 minutes, 35 seconds |
Just use google-chrome if you dont want to compile.
And firefox 22 mins is normal ( u typed version 52 maybe its also faster one)
| Code: |
firefox: Sat Nov 18 11:25:26 2017: 21 minutes, 36 seconds
firefox: Sat Nov 18 19:01:00 2017: 20 minutes, 22 seconds
firefox: Wed Dec 27 10:21:24 2017: 23 minutes, 35 seconds
firefox: Mon Jan 15 11:10:48 2018: 21 minutes, 17 seconds
firefox: Tue Jan 30 20:42:55 2018: 20 minutes, 3 seconds
firefox: Sat Apr 28 22:16:17 2018: 21 minutes, 22 seconds
firefox: Mon May 14 22:33:27 2018: 21 minutes, 13 seconds

Probably I shouldn't have all those languages

Thanks @mir3x
@Hu I was aware I was comparing between 2014 to 2018. I just was just highlighting it was not such an increase of compile time for firefox than chromium for same period. Thanks to make me noticing vivaldi was prebuild I missed that.
| Code: | ~ # emerge --pretend --verbose www-client/firefox www-client/chromium
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

I noticed new flag for chromium
| Code: | | - - jumbo-build : Combine source files to speed up build process. |
I'll test tomorrow (if I dont forget ) and report back how if its faster.

Jumbo seems very cool. Compilation time more than halved for me.
| Code: | chromium: Mon Jul 2 07:52:59 2018: 8305 seconds
chromium: Mon Jul 2 10:18:08 2018: 3126 seconds |
Both are chromium-68.0.3440.25, first one without jumbo, second with jumbo.

Nice catch @mir3x
| Code: |
Mon Jun 25 04:53:45 2018 >>> www-client/chromium-67.0.3396.87
merge time: 5 hours, 58 minutes and 36 seconds.
Thu Jul 5 21:19:28 2018 >>> www-client/chromium-67.0.3396.87
merge time: 2 hours, 23 minutes and 7 seconds. <= with jumbo-build

Just heard about that today when someone linked this page in a post to comp.misc:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_build_instructions.md#faster-builds
The poster said he'd gotten compile times down to less than an hour. Compared to my machine, his has hyperthreading (Core i7 4790K vs. my Core i5 4690K), but is otherwise configured similarly (actually, he mentioned he was building from a hard drive, while I'm building from a SATA SSD). I'm recompiling now to see what kind of difference it'll make. |
