Ben,
I am using Bas van Dijk’s usb, and I am past the -threading issue by using the latest commit.
Excellent; I hadn't noticed the "proclivis" in your email address
I don’t have any easy way of making comparisons between 7.6 and 7.8 productivity, but from oscilloscope activity, I can’t see any difference. The only difference I see is the thread scheduling on 7.8 for -N1 vs -N2/4.
If —sstderr gives some notion of productivity, I’ll have to do an experiment between -N1 and -N2/4. Unchartered territory for me. I’ll setup and experiment tonight.
Indeed it does; "productivity" in this context refers to the fraction of runtime spent in evaluation (as opposed to in the garbage collector, for instance).
I am not familiar with strace. I’ll fix that soon.
It's often an invaluable tool; that being said it remains to seen whether it yields anything useful in this particular case. Cheers, - Ben
