This pause & restart of the billing timer occurs for every action executed by OC. It's a substantial amount of overhead (calling in to the kernel twice and doing whatever overhead needed to manage the timer) to be burdened with for every single action. I think this was added because in 1.1
consume_compile_thread_queue()
is a wee bit heavier than prior releases (because it needs to take a lock a couple of times; for every action 😞 ). But since the number of outstanding compiles is limited to OC compile threads, the time spent in there is still very low. It wouldn't surprise me if this pause/resume is alone consuming more unaccounted for time than the nominal execution ofconsume_compile_thread_queue()
