[lldb-dev] Problem with large sym files (dsymutil speed)

[Somorjai, Akos]

It's at least 39 MB-s; I can't tell exactly because dsymutil bails out (the original problem). 
I have a feeling that we are going in circles :)

Best, Ákos

Linking DWARF is a serialized process where we take DWARF from a bunch of .o files and then make a single out file. All DWARF sections have to be appended to one another and they have interdependencies, so even though dsymutil does use multi-threading to parse 8 .o files ahead, it doesn't help in the long run. clang and llvm-gcc make debug info that is around 4 times bigger that gcc, so this probably makes things worse for you guys.
