Add option to set number of threads psc will use

garyb opened this issue · 2 comments

Ideally this should be something we can read from the command line args rather than something that is set in the gulpfile.

The motivation for this is to limit the threads used on Travis, at it seems whatever default it is using is crippling the compiler performance currently (10x slower at compiling purescript-halogen), as of psc 0.7.5.

I'm only thinking of the RTS -N option here, but maybe we should allow the use of any RTS arguments, it could be useful for debugging too.

Good idea!
