If a bisection takes a day, it would probably take longer to automate than just find it manually. For performance bugs, you may need to look at non-standard metrics or profiling that would otherwise be a one-off and don’t necessarily make sense to automate.
- jsnell 2y agoThe full bisection taking just a day doesn't seem compatible with the parameters of the story. Three weeks of FreeBSD changes seems to be about 500 commits. That's about 9 bisection steps. At two steps / day (the best you can do without automation), that's a full work week. It seems obvious that this is worth automating.
