Profiling and optimisation of BuildStream

[Sam Thursfield <sam thursfield codethink co uk>]

Hi,
Angelos has already started some discussions about benchmarking and 
performance, and I've now got time to start looking into this as well.

In order to coordinate things, I've started up a wiki page at 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/BuildStream/Performance

The intention of the page is to give structure to the work, and to track 
useful resources for doing profiling and optimization work. Any specific 
performance issues we find should be tracked in the issue tracker as 
normal (and please use the 'Optimization' tag). I think it'll be good to 
link to all such issues from the wiki page too, although that may turn 
out to be too much faff.

Getting edit access to the wiki.gnome.org is a bit involved due to the 
anti-spam protection. Basically you have to first register an account on 
the wiki (usernames of the form FirstnameLastname are conventional), and 
then you have to ask someone who already has edit access to add your 
username to this page: https://wiki.gnome.org/TrustedEditorGroup

If you need someone to do this for you, ask in #buildstream on 
irc.gnome.org once you have registered a wiki account and one of us will 
be able to help.

Sam
