Package installation time on 1.13beta3 improved

General Usage
1

For my package KiteModels.jl I compared the time it took to run my install script.

time ./install

Julia 1.10: 5:40 minutes
Julia 1.11: 9:30 minutes
Julia 1.12: 9:27 minutes
Julia 1.13: 7:51 minutes

This includes the time to install Julia itself, because before the tests, I deleted the .julia folder. This is in a virtual machine, running Ubuntu 22.04 on a Ryzen 7950X CPU.

This indicates that Julia 1.13beta3 is 17% faster than Julia 1.12 for installing and pre-compiling packages, but still 28% slower than 1.10.

How about LTS?

I updated my last post.

Can you isolate the MTK contribution? I’d be curious to see how that’s changing.

We are no longer using MTK in KiteModels.jl. The MTK models were moved to the package SymbolicAWEModels.jl .

FYI, my results testing latest MTK and OrdinaryDiffEq:

1.10: 23m47s
1.12: 25m45s
1.13: 30m37s
