Believe me, this is an *ofbiz* problem, not a hardware problem. It definately used to take 15m to do a full run(ant clean-all, ant install-demo, ant run-tests). 15m was sufficient for me to start a loop against a whole series of git commits, go away to lunch, or drive home, and log back in to see 10 test runs all happily finished. Things have changed in ofbiz, so that now it takes a *huge* amount of time. Some of that is related to a larger amount of code overflowing the cpu's L2 cache. Some of that is related to catalina startup, when it tries to seed the sessions randomness, and the local machine runs out of entropy. I suggest that every so often software gets run on older computers; this allows for poorly written software to be tested in a more real-world situation, and then moree problems can be detected and fixed. ps: I am going to switch <if> in ant *back* to javascript, *away* from ant-contrib. The latter is significantly slower when using a system installed ant.
