We have detected a build metrics regression from push:

https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/pushloghtml?changeset=dbcd58f04e4fc7d5172fffb7cad19d9d2a6d957b

As author of one of the patches included in that push, we need your help to address this regression.

Regressions:

 10%  build times summary windows2012-32 pgo taskcluster-c4.4xlarge     4,923.61 -> 5,406.69
  9%  build times summary windows2012-64 pgo taskcluster-c4.4xlarge     5,268.43 -> 5,750.40


You can find links to graphs and comparison views for each of the above tests at: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/perf.html#/alerts?id=9906

On the page above you can see an alert for each affected platform as well as a link to a graph showing the history of scores for this test. There is also a link to a treeherder page showing the jobs in a pushlog format.

:farre I see that the change in bug 1377766 increased the build time for Windows PGOs. The OPT build times don't seem affected.
Is this just a build process issue or can we do something about it?

I see that build/pgo/index.html uses setTimeout. This could be the cause, not sure what to do about it though. Looking some more.

Trouble was that the instrumented build is slow, which means timeouts get punished harder than for a release build. This is kind of silly for pgo profiling, so the solution is to disable budget throttling for generating the pgo profile.
