alleviate some of the time problems, I can tell you that Spot and I
will do our best to procure them. From what I've heard others
describe up until now, it doesn't seem like there's one clear
roadblock in that regard -- just a huge mountain of tasks that our
current systems have to chug through for composing, and no matter how
you slice it, it takes a lot of time and I/O bandwidth.
Well upgrading all the buildsystem and storage system to 10gigE, and
replacing the 10TB or so filer with something that has fantastically
fast disks would certainly reduce the amount of I/O wait time, but
that's going to cost a /lot/ of money. We are still trying to find
where our bottlenecks are. We had a pretty good handle on things prior
to delta rpms, but now we've gone from 3~ hour null composes (no changed
packages) to nearly 9 hour null composes. There is obviously some
optimization to be had here.
