Fons van der Plas (Aug 16 2024 at 17:36): Fons van der Plas (Aug 16 2024 at 17:36):Hey! I am wondering if Julia 1.11 makes any improvements to install times, loading times, TTFX and the like? I looked at the release notes but couldn't find something!
Jakob Nybo Nissen (Aug 17 2024 at 09:09):Last I checked, 1.11 has a bunch of regressions, making precompilatio especially, but TTFX in general, slower.
Timothy (Aug 17 2024 at 09:23):As I see it, 1.11 is mostly about nice new capabilities that will take a few releases for us to really see the full benefits of (e.g. Memory)
Fons van der Plas (Aug 17 2024 at 10:05):Thanks, that makes sense! @Timothy do you mean that the 1.11 features will give TTFX benefits from packages, or Julia itself? or something else?
Fons van der Plas (Aug 17 2024 at 10:08):One thing is relocatable precompile files in 1.11 – I think there is the intention to one day download precompile files from package server, which can be faster than precompiling yourself. So that's an example of a feature that can lead to TTFX improvements in a future release.
Christopher Rackauckas (Aug 17 2024 at 12:24):Yes, we do plan to get infra to offload a lot to a server
Christopher Rackauckas (Aug 17 2024 at 12:24):right now there are some regressions though
Mason Protter (Aug 17 2024 at 12:28):a lot of those regressions are because loading Pkg and some other stdlibs is no longer free
