We should probably use this where possible on autotools packages to speed up builds.

jedbrown commented 10 years ago

Have you tested by how much it speeds up builds? Seemed negligible last I checked, though my test was neither careful nor comprehensive.

ahmadia commented 10 years ago

I haven't. I saw that the homebrew guys were using it and it seemed like a reasonable best practice. I guess it's worth timing a build or two before making this a default in our stacks.

certik commented 10 years ago

I think it can't hurt to use this option.

ahmadia commented 10 years ago

The hurting would come if we managed to find a package that hasn't enabled it :)
