Evaluate Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) #1360

Open zamazan4ik opened 1 year ago

zamazan4ik commented 1 year ago

Hi!

Recently I checked Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) improvements on multiple projects. The results are here.

Since PGO showed measurable improvements in compiler/interpreter-like workloads (CPython, Clang, Clangd, clang-format, GCC, Rustc, PHP, Ruby, and many others.) I think it could also be helpful to check PGO for the Miktex project.

We need to perform PGO benchmarks on Miktex. And if it shows improvements - add a note about possible improvements in Miktex performance with PGO. Providing an easier way (e.g. a build option) to build the project with PGO can also be helpful for the maintainers and end-users. Improving performance can improve user experience with Miktex (like faster write/see preview cycles and/or more optimized battery consumption).

P.S. I didn't find a proper way to suggest an idea for the project, not a bug. If there is a more valid type for the task - feel free to change it.
