Went from around 27 minutes to around 8 minutes: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/actions/runs/19600074415/job/56130291656?pr=9449 Most of the time is actually in the tests themselves now since they don't all run in parallel. Still a bunch of work to do in speeding up the tests themselves especially in the tail and timeout package. The open timeout PR should reduce this number even more. |

I've been working on trying to increase the code coverage and I was finding that it takes around 30 minutes for the build suite to collect this data and that the majority of the time is spent on merging the llvm profile data files. When doing some investigation on this there was a post that mentioned that having %p has the potential to increase the file count by a factor of 1000x and since we were merging the files anyways there was no need to use this flag.
Running this on the build fleet to see if the outputs are the same and if the time is radically different
