In my experience, loading a MSE file for an average system takes
between 3 and 5 minutes. Imagine that you want to collect the number
of classes in each of the systems in the QC. you have 150 systems * 3
minutes each for loading the model = 7.5 hours. And imagine that after
that you want to count the number of methods in each of the systems...
This is why with Andrea we thought about caching Moose images
preloaded with the systems in the Qualitas Corpus. In this way I could
run a new analysis on the entire corpus in 10 minutes: I open an
image, load the latest version of my analysis package if needed, run
the analysis, return the results and close.
- images are dependent on the smalltalk
code.
In three years these images will be completly outdated and one will need
to reload all of pharo and moose to be able to use them which will
probably take much more than 5 minutes.
Which is not saying that the loading should be faster.
Actually saving a model is very slow too, ...
Maybe it is something in the way Fame is implemented ?
- from an experimental point of view, 8 hours is not a lot.You do it
once, you get your results and that'sit.
