Jonathan Dieter has just made F16 and F17 Koji builds for the multithreaded yum-presto (currently only in F18 and Rawhide) which takes advantage of multiple cores. Since applydeltarpm maxes out the CPU, they will probably give a linear speedup. He doesn't plan to ever put the F16 version into updates-testing but might do it for F17 if it gets positive feedback. (I personally don't have multicore hardware so can only test for good behavior, not for the speedup.) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701711#c10 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=359518 (yum-presto-0.9.0-1.fc16) http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=359516 (um-presto-0.9.0-1.fc17)
I've tried that, but the speedup is invisible. It runs on both cores I have but the rebuild speed is same as old single threaded. If it runs on one core the build speed drops to half. This is on SSD so disk throughput is hardly a bottleneck.
To be honest - when I started to use presto few years ago, it was rebuilding packages at speed of 1MB/s. During years it slowly dropped to around 600kB/s. With this version it peaks around 900kB/s but average is still around 600kB/s, when only one applydeltarpm is runnig the rebuild drops to 200-300kB/s.
