The compile-file-parallel fails on a macro in babel - I haven't tried to reduce it to a test case.

It happens even if I run the thing in serial (counter to what I said above). So breaking up the compiler as I have has a problem.

We are developing our own technology that looks more like lfarm - for distributing jobs across large clusters of machines.

Sadly, no. Bike and I will take a look at compile-file-parallel tomorrow - it almost works - but there is something wrong with how I'm splitting up the ast generation and the subsequent steps. There's a form in babel that causes an assertion failure in cleavir.

stassats: Do you every go looking for thread contention? I was going to try some of the tools in xcode to see if I can get any insight why compile-file-parallel doesn't go higher than about 200% CPU.

It might even be malloc - google has this tcmalloc that is supposed to give better multithreaded performance.
