Yeah, top typically shows 60-70% idle on the iMac while compiling, aside from occasional spikes associated with linking or the like.

OK -- now what about I/O and memory pressure? An idle CPU does not necessarily indicate an underutilized machine (though I suspect that is the case).


top -u should give an idea of pageins/pageouts. For I/O, I usually find it useful to more judge the responsiveness of the machine when I try to use it for normal tasks.

Clearly, we need to do a better job of using the local CPU when doing distributed compilation. Yet, our testing has shown that too much use of local resources can very quickly kill the usability of the local machine. Worse, it can make distributed compilation performance suffer greatly as the local machine is no longer able to fill the remote queue.
