I've been toying with the idea of optimizing @openusd compilation times. The first results are promising with the ‘pxr/base/arch’ and ‘pxr/base/tf’ modules compiling in 35 seconds instead of 2 minutes and 20 seconds—that's a 4x speed up!
Just ran @aras_p's ClangBuildAnalyzer while compiling @openusd on a single thread. Some interesting numbers: - 80 minutes of compilation time. - 14 minutes spent on including usd/prim.h 300+ times. @ourmachinery's article ourmachinery.com/post/physical-… comes to mind here.
