New issue 2978: Avoid timeouts - extra dot in graphlib
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2978/avoid-timeouts-extra-dot-in-graphlib

Stefano Rivera:

Debian has had some issues with pypy builds timing out on some of our slower 
architectures. [Logs](https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=pypy).
I brought this up on IRC a while ago (probably at least a year), and planned to 
go digging for some place to insert `log.dot()` calls. Armin was not very 
hopeful that I'd find useful places to do this, as we don't want to emit a dot 
unless the build is actually progressing, and not stuck in a loop.

Anyway, I found 1 place that made a big difference for us. So, I thought I'd 
share the patch.
 
I'm happy to test variants of this on MIPS64, which was timing out most 
"reliably".

I'd say the next most frequent cause of timeouts is in the test harness for 
cpyext., e.g.
