Performance Problem - compilation of file

 

Figure out the time taken for compilation using

$ /usr/bin/time -p gmake abc.o

...

real 18.02
user 9.88
sys 3.16
$

Check where most of the time is spent

Is that on read, write?

$ strace -c -f -o /tmp/strace_cumm.log gmake file.o

% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall

Check if is struck somewhere

strace -T -f -o /tmp/strace.log gmake file.o

In parallel, tail -f /tmp/strace.log

 

Check the speed of access  from NFS

$ dd if=file.c of=/dev/null
1946+1 records in
1946+1 records out
996481 bytes (996 kB) copied, 0.0030956 s, 322 MB/s

Check NFS IO Stats for the filer

$ nfsiostat <mounted_dir>

<NFS-Server:Export directory> mounted on <mounted_directory>:

Check pstack of compiler backend

Is that struck somewhere?
