Hm; I'm unable to view that image -- Emacs says that it's invalid?  I'm
not sure whether it's Gnus decoding it wrong or something, though.

But speaking of which, I've been letting an 8-code AMD server out there
do builds for a half a week now.  It's not done with all the builds
(it's doing three builds per day just to get the noise level down a
bit), but here's a preliminary graph:

Thanks for identifying the significant commits.

That's that big jump in January 2019 in the chart above.  I wonder
whether anybody's taken a look at it again to see if there's anything
that can be done more efficiently there.

Hm...  is that something that can be improved (if that code is still
there, that is)?

Ah, I suspected that that was the cause of one of the major jumps.

Right; so these weren't in one big commit, so it's more spread out.

Thanks.  😃
