<br>
After <a href="http://reviews.llvm.org/D8372" target="_blank">http://reviews.llvm.org/D8372</a> , I updated the profiling data.<br>

It seems now 85% of CPU time is spent inside<br>
FileArchive::buildTableOfContents().<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm rather amazed that that patch changed the total CPU time. Just doing the work in parallel shouldn't reduce the total CPU time spent on the task. A reduction in CPU time would happen though if parallelizing it increased the single-threaded performance of the tasks being done in parallel. Perhaps using multiple cores means we are using multiple caches, so each thread is getting much better single-threaded performance due to reduced memory bottlenecking?</div><div><br></div><div>-- Sean Silva</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
In particular, 35% of the samples are spent inserting into<br>
unordered_map, so there's maybe something we can do differently there<br>
(e.g. , Rui's proposal of a concurrent map doesn't seem that bad).<br>
