If someone is interested in an optimization challenge here's your opportunity. Currently the program(s) that generate the test results take a long time to run. In both the live setup of a 4 core 16 GB ram VM it takes about 40 minutes to generate the reports for master and develop branches. On my 4 core 16 GB ram real hardware SSD HD machine it also takes about 40 minutes.
If some brave soul could look into why it's so terribly slow the Boost community would be very grateful. As it would make it possible to move the processing to a CI service and improve results reliability and frequency.
The report is completely generated from scratch on every run, even though a significant fraction of it doesn't change. I suspect that the best way to optimize it would be to make the report generation more incremental. (The old XSL scripts did in fact work this way. When I wrote boost_report, I assumed that it didn't matter, since it took less than 2 minutes at the time.) In Christ, Steven Watanabe
