Description
The current test system copies large portions of the SPECjvm98 test suite from the external lib to the testing directory.
My experience has been that this copying action can take multiple minutes, and in many cases actually takes longer than running the test. Can we avoid doing much of the copying by doing symlinks or some other cheaper operation?
fileset: Setup scanner in dir /home/dgrove/jikesrvm-benchmarks/SPECjvm98 with patternSet
{ includes: [spec/**, props/**] excludes: [] }
I am not seeing that behviour here which leads me to believe that it is copying from a remote filesystem? It should be possible to avoid but is there any way you can get the benchmark code on a local filesystem as there could be other tests which have similar behaviour.
