Hi!
As I posted in this [other issue](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/59642#issuecomment-1363223257), I notice that `clang-analyzer-*` (in particular `clang-analyzer-core*`) checks are extremely slow (I am running them through `clang-tidy`).
For comparison, Clang compiler takes less than 2 seconds to analyze the TU, while `clang-analyzer-core` checks take almost 6 minutes to go through it. That's 180x slower.
Before spending time preparing a minimal example out of my original code, I wanted to ask some preliminary questions:
* Clang analyzer is supposed to be slower than compilation, but is it normal that it is **that much** slower?
* Is there any particular setting that makes the checks slower? Can I configure the tool to trade off speed vs accuracy? I cannot remove individual checks, because clang-tidy will enable all or nothing.
* How can I profile the checks further?
Thanks!
