Source to strip is here:

https://opensource.apple.com/source/cctools/cctools-895/misc/strip.c.auto.html

Doesn't use multiple threads, which probably makes sense from a simplicity perspective. If you have multiple cores, is there anything akin to the "-j" option for GNU Make that will fire off multiple jobs simultaneously? At that point it becomes an issue of whether the dependencies are set up to permit concurrent strip of object files.

I just found out that archiving and when "Setting Mode", strip is only using 5% of 1 core no matter how many are free cores there are on the current Mac. Strip is also not disk bound.

Just tried this across 3 Macs while archiving. Apparently, strip is single threaded and takes tens of seconds stripping symbols from intermediate files while never going over 5% CPU utilization on one core.

One question. Why?

One more question. Is it possible to renice strip so it is not so terribly slow?

I have Mac Pros that take LONGER than MacBooks to create an iOS archive in Xcode 8 because of this.

The Mac Pros a 6 core Cylinder and 12 core Tower with PCI SSD and > 40 GB of RAM while the MBPs are 2012 and 2014 4 core i7s with 16 GB of RAM, running off of SSDs.

Any clue why this is so slow?

Thanks,
Alex Zavatone
