agj: Hey

safwan: howdy

agj: Doing good. what about you?

agj: Can you provide me the way to measure the performance of build?

build time is the best metric

though this will depend on machine obviously

as a staff user, each build has the build time

on the build output page

agj: Yes

So while revieweing the test patch, you have compare with 2 build?

Like before applying the patch, and after applying the patch

right?

agj: ^^

generally we don't care a lot about performance in that sense, unless something really hugely impacts it

ericholscher: actually agj made a comment about performance issue in the PR https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org/pull/31...

So I would like to know about measuring it so I can try to find the root cause

ahh gotcha

ericholscher: actually I am not comfortable to build a separate image for each user

It feels something like monkeypatch

the user needs to pull down an image anyway, so i'm impartial here

this was simply measuring usermod -u 501 docs on my box, i left it after 30m of running

so, if we can't guarantee that this is a quick option, i'd rather new users have an extra step on image creation

ericholscher: thanks for the eagle eyes on the twitterverse :)
