Buildbot Performance

[Christopher Nielsen]

Sounds good.

And perhaps that’s a good long-term plan: If we can install additional memory in the Xserves, such that all buildbot VMs can be allocated 9 or 10 GB each, that should help across-the-board.

Combine that with an upgrade to six-core Westmere Xeons, and our build times will increase noticeably.

When can we get those upgrades?  ;-)

If I set them all to 8 GB RAM, then 2.x GB RAM are not being used for anything. I improved the performance of the 10.11 and 10.14 VMs and made it less likely for them to swap by assigning the additional available 1 GB RAM to each.
