I did a quick comparison of Forrest revision 231407 (before Cocoon
update) and revision 230867 (somewhere near HEAD).
Unfortunately, very little showed up. Here's what I did.
I ran a CPU profile on both revisions, which wasn't very helpful at
all. Nothing interesting showed up. "chaperon" seems to eat a
significant amount of CPU time, though.
Then I tried something else: Taking a look at the numbers output by
Cocoon, which prints statements like the following.
* [3/43] [8/25] 1.892s 5.4Kb pluginDocs/index.html
* [4/43] [1/25] 0.962s 5.7Kb issues.html
* [6/42] [1/29] 0.971s 6.2Kb tools/index.html
^^^^^^
I decided to compare the time reported between the two revisions,
using a single run on each revision.
First the totals.
Revision 231407 Total time: 20 minutes 31 seconds ( 624 seconds)
Revision 230867 Total time: 10 minutes 24 seconds (1231 seconds)
Seems to be similar to the time difference reported by others.
There's a difference of about 607 seconds to account for (on my box).
I matched the individual times for each document, using a simple
script. The result is like this:
Page Old New Diff
/docs_0_60/changes.html 4.487s -> 9.534s 5.047s
/docs_0_60/changes.pdf 5.538s -> 9.914s 4.376s
/docs_0_60/changes.rss 0.170s -> 0.110s -0.060s
/docs_0_60/compliance.html 0.942s -> 1.722s 0.780s
/docs_0_60/compliance.pdf 0.440s -> 0.241s -0.199s
/docs_0_60/faq.html 1.712s -> 8.232s 6.520s
/docs_0_60/faq.pdf 0.882s -> 6.359s 5.477s
...
I pulled everything into a spreadsheet, and took the total of all time
differences. The total is about 602 seconds, in my opinion close
enough to the expected 607.
Below are the pages that contribute 5 seconds or more to the
difference. All numbers are in seconds.
Be warned that I currently don't know if these numbers have any
significance at all. They may mean a lot, or nothing at all! The
main reason I am presenting them is that I'll probably don't
have any more time for this issue this week, and they may (or may
not!) be useful to someone.
Note that many pages seem to be generated twice, because of slightly
different URLs; eg
/docs_0_80/changes.pdf 2,453 14,411 11,958
docs_0_80/changes.pdf 3,184 14,772 11,588
(second and third line in the table below)
Also note that the times (generation and difference) may be close
together, like above. But they may also differ quite significantly.
docs_0_60/changes.html 2,003 13,409 11,406
/docs_0_60/changes.html 4,487 9,534 5,047
Not quite unexpected, as these times are wall clock. There are other
processes running on my box, the garbage collector, ...
