Hi Andrea,

Thanks for the investigation and fixes !

I put my tests results as comments in the PR ... here it improved the build 
times by 1 minutes and 34 seconds,
i.e. from 5:52 minutes to 4:18 minutes (without documentation) using 'mvn clean 
install -T4 -Dall -nsu -fn'.

I'm still not capable of building GeoTools documentation using Maven ... it 
always fails due to some ant error but
it works when I invoke the ant command directly ... so documentation build was 
not take into account here.

Cheers,

Nuno Oliveira

Hi,
I just got myself a new desktop machine and I was testing its GeoTools build 
times.
Having a 8 core CPU (AMD Ryzen 1700x) I set it free to use as many threads as 
possible (-T1C)
and looked at the results.

They were not bad, more than twice as fast as my old machine, still, the CPU 
consumption graph
suggested there was room for improvement.
Looking into it I've found a few parts that were network dependent (calling 
onto remote servers),
sometimes without good reason, dependencies that were declared but not used, 
and sometimes
used dependencies that were put there to save a handful of lines of code, but 
making the
build a lot more serial than necessary.
I've also backported from GeoServer a surefire test speedup trick that was 
already used there,
and that after the fixes contributes significantly to the overall speed up.

This pull request summarizes the work:
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/1716

One final note, the 4 minutes and a half time were obtained by building inside of 
"modules".
The main reason is the documentation, which takes a lot of time at the very 
end, and
most of the time it's "irrelevant" to the build success.
That last statement needs qualifying... the documentation module contains 
actual example code
that should be built, but also the sphinx docs that most of the commits are not 
touching at all,
and yet we are spending a lot of time building them with sphinx.

Imho that should be changed, so that unless someone is interested, the sphinx 
translation is not
done, similar to how GeoServer works, when one builds the documents only if 
they are
being worked on.

Cheers
Andrea

PS: there is a NetCDF test that's using a lot of time, NetCdfCRSTest, like 38 
seconds,
but only when run from Maven, if I run it from IDE it completes in like 2.5 
seconds.
I've tried to look into it, but could not find why there is such a large 
difference.
I've noticed that ignoring it brings the parallel build down by an overall 10 
extra seconds,
which is not bad. Anyone has a clue as to what's happening there?
I've tried to look at the other NetCDF tests run before it, resetting the CRS 
subsystem,
tried not setting up H2 in server mode, but all in vain...
