I'm also confirming that the longer tasks is now back to about 135 minutes.

In one case it is a dual socket E5420 ( 8 cores), in another case it is a virtualized 8 cores E5645. I first thought it could be the new version of gcc (4.9) since both tasks involves a lot of C compilation. Although gcc 4.9 is slower (3s vs 2.8s in my own tests) it is not enough to explain the difference. I actually also tried using gcc 4.8 and 4.7 with the same performance degradation. I unfortunately do not have a 14.04 server to which I can compare the results to see where the difference is in terms of performance. Is anyone observing the same behavior? --- AlsaDevices: Error: command ['ls', '-l', '/dev/snd/'] failed with exit code 2: ls: cannot access /dev/snd/: No such file or directory AplayDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 ArecordDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=9a90cb5e-bce2-49fc-8c26-8f3d23bce997 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-05-15 (899 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120424.1) IwConfig: eth0 no wireless extensions. eth1 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions.
