I have to correct my self:
Julia 1.11.5 using a single thread compiles on Windows a simple module via PackageCompiler about 60 % slower than Julia 1.10.9. See my detailed test in this thread.
Maybe this is not the case on Linux, but this is why I opened the discussion.
Allow me to make another proposal:
- all pinned projects in
https://github.com/JuliaLang/are treated as core components. - before a release is made all these projects are tested with the new Julia on Windows, Linux and MacOS.
- If they work the first beta can be released.
- If they work, but there is a major performance issue, the release of the beta gets information about this.
I think this will not block a beta release but a wide audience is then aware of issues and can help, test, develop patches.
