I did the same "bitbake -p; time bitbake world -P -n" on the same build with thud, warrior and zeus: thud/profile.log.processed: 2803894450 function calls (2803191143 primitive calls) in 3340.784 seconds thud/profile-worker.log.processed: 27005515 function calls (26944030 primitive calls) in 3243.139 seconds warrior/profile.log.processed: 2804294486 function calls (2803446296 primitive calls) in 3604.226 seconds warrior/profile-worker.log.processed: 27649679 function calls (27591220 primitive calls) in 3503.772 seconds zeus/profile.log.processed: 2327031298 function calls (2326396186 primitive calls) in 4433.851 seconds zeus/profile-worker.log.processed: 28829453 function calls (28771730 primitive calls) in 4331.257 seconds thud/time:real 55m41.595s warrior/time:real 60m4.954s zeus/time:real 72m23.053s with multilib disabled I got zeus-no-multilib/profile.log.processed: 1232798107 function calls (1232447521 primitive calls) in 1773.164 seconds zeus-no-multilib/profile-worker.log.processed: 15561565 function calls (15555044 primitive calls) in 1716.234 seconds real 29m33.658s Which seems reasonable as the number of tasks was cut in half.
