FTR, the original post was not about internet.
I'd say Python's runtime only has a small fixed startup cost that prevent it from beating natively-compiled tools in no-op rebuilds (when no source file has changed). Some tools like tup or ninja reach insanely low…
The cmake benchmarks used the make backend on linux and cygwin, and the vcbuild, msbuild and mscv-ide backend on windows/msvc. The ninja backend is indeed faster than the make one. An update to these benchmarks is…
I take note that I should put a date on the page! I actually ran again some of these benchmarks again over the years (last time about one years ago), on the same hardware and updated software, and results didn't change…
Hi, I'm the author of these benchmarks, and yes, they are getting old. One of Scons' maintainers kindly asked me a few days ago to try again with current Scons version, so I've started to update and run these benchmarks…
