17:46:18 drmeister There are two places in the build process it pauses for a long time:

17:46:20 drmeister https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/rfwUczKp/

17:46:28 drmeister That's one of them.

17:46:33 drmeister The next one is coming up.

17:47:06 drmeister And here:

17:54:55 bike babel has a bunch of huge constants. cffi might too, i don't know

18:10:33 drmeister Is there anything you can do about that? It's a significant portion of the build time.

18:14:02 bike i could try. any chance you can profile it?

18:14:17 bike cffi/src/strings.lisp does babel:instantiate-concrete-mappings which is a macro that expands into an enormous amount of code

18:14:20 bike so that's probably it

18:14:52 bike it might be something dumb like taking too much time to pointlessly native compile local macroexpanders.

18:14:58 bike which would be relatively easy to fix

18:15:41 bike babel and cffi are part of the extensions build, right? so it's clasp compiling them?

18:16:19 drmeister iclasp is compiling them.

18:16:34 bike bytecode-compile-toplevel-macrolet is already doing bytecode compilation only, ok

18:16:41 drmeister The profiling needs the trampolines and I'm in an old branch

19:25:56 drmeister I cleaned up a few more things and now extension .sif files look like strict supersets of clasp .sif file.

20:41:19 drmeister I'm changing the .sif format to s-expressions. That mean changing the scraper to read and use s-expressions
