It would be great if we could get users to submit their computationally-heavy, toy projects. Unfortunately, the best testcases for us are those with no dependencies outside of the core libraries and these projects aren't terribly common.

This appears extremely unfortunate, because it is *the* metric that is really representative of end user experience. There is a number of factors that affect speed of the builds, and one could imagine how the profiles for the entirety of build process can vary due to the amount of cross-module dependencies, for example. -- с уважениeм / respectfully, Косырев Сергей
