ant clean all takes 45 minutes

[manickarajm]

Hi, The ant clean all command takes a whopping 45 minutes.

I have a Dell Precision laptop (Core i7, 8th gen) windows 10 Enterprise

However this slowness observed recently (a week ago onward). I have gone back to earlier stage of windows (uninstalled all the software/programs did recently).

Antivirus is running but seems taking less CPU/memory. Disk read/write also seems to be fine

Any pointer/ideas to improve this would be really grateful.

Thanks, k

Which version of hybris are you using? It will be helpful for you to copy this hybris to another laptop and run ant clean all and see how much time it takes.

[manickarajm]

Hybris 6.6.0.3.

I have tried the same hybris suite in another core i7 laptop which hardly took 12 mins.

Try putting your source inside a linux VM and build there. Average performance improvement is about 100% (no, I'm not joking)

I haven't tried in a actual VM but you inspired me to try in WSL (Debian) It's 20% faster.

avg. 2m 20s from Windows command prompt

vs

avg. 1m 55s from the WSL Debian bash shell

Good to know! Think I'll be changing how I run my builds.

FYI, the server startup is also significantly faster under linux. e.g. hybris 18.08, full b2c_acc recipe in under a minute. When I should I get my coffee now?? :P

Could it be that you have some maven tasks or alike that are stuck in a request somewhere that can not be accessed? Or something else that needs a external request? Does it get stuck in some specific place?

Try disabling antivirus, and see if that improves Also SSD drive ? Generally we have noticed that Mac/Linux is better suited for Hybris development
