Greetings.


Recently I cloned & upgraded a (virtual) build system, from Jessie to 
Stretch,
and some tasks have become so slow that it hurts.


Look at 'git archive' for example, the tar part:


bob@build-stretch:/stuff/git/linux-stable$

time git archive v3.18.95 | perf stat tar xC /usr/src/test

A bit slower now, on Stretch.

(and why are the perf numbers vastly different I wonder?)


Same thing for 'rm -rf'ing a kernel build tree, on the Stretch VM
it's multiple times slower - takes approx. two minutes.


KVM, same host, storage is virtio block device in LVM.
Setup has been working flawless for years.
Host is also Debian. Still Wheezy, but for a reason.


I've already

- tried different kernels on host and guest
- switched to ext3 from ext4 on guest (a bit faster, but not much)
- used a local git repo in guest (vs. network share which is default)
- asked the Googol

but no remedies yet.



What am I missing?

Has anyone experienced similar things after
upgrading from Jessie to Stretch?

Ingmar
