Re: How to speed up 'automake'

[Karl Berry]

    automake --verbose --warnings=all --add-missing --copy

Since you're talking about cron, I'm guessing the terminal output is
being redirected to a file? Because if it's going to an actual tty, that
can consume a surprising amount of time.

    Is there a way to speed 'automake' up?

Only real idea I have is to run automake under the Perl profiler and see
what comes up.  As in, install Devel::NYTProf from CPAN and then run
  perl -d:NYTProf /path/to/automake/executable

Best,
