mustella performance
Hi,
What is going on with the mustella test suite that would make all quad
core cpus run at 100%?
I know these tests are broad but, my computer got really unstable
trying to run -all.
Fact is I don't have time to wait an hour to see if I broke something
when I am just doing edits in build files.
BTW I had to kill all the java processes to get my computer not to crash.
I'm running an HP Core Quad Q9300 2.5, 8GB Ram
I have had this computer for a couple years and never had a problem
like this only with some older programs.
Mike

In the compile phase, mustella uses every available core for compilation.
In an -all run on my quad core Windows laptop, the entire run takes around 8
hours, but mostly that is due to the runner phase which runs each test SWF
serially.
To test build-script changes, I would just run ant main checkintests.
Then do an -all run at the very end overnight just in case.
But I would do an -all run tonight so you know that it works for you.

I don't know why that would happen, but I can share with you my experience
running the -all tests. I use a MacBookPro and on several occasions found
the machine's CPU meter at 100% and barely responsive, running the tests
very, very slowly. This was 1 or 2 months ago now. What we (Alex, Carol,
and I) do is shutdown virus scanners and backup software when we run the
tests. A normal "quick" run of a couple hundred tests always seemed fine
to me. It was just the large test suites that involve compiling thousands
of SWFs. I don't know if the machine tries to compile multiple SWFs at the
same time or not; perhaps Alex or Carol can answer that.
Since the tests take a while to run, try to make sure all non-essential
programs are stopped and let it go overnight. If other folks on this list
are more machine-savvy than I, please weigh in with your suggestions.

Just found a better solution:
you can give cygwin a lower priority.
Write a new batch file, for exampe "cygstart.bat" with the following
content:
# cygstart.bat
start "Cygwin" /low C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat
While I'm writing this email, my tests are running :)

As a hint, I set the process priority of my shell lower than normal and can
use windows almost normaly while the tests are running.
