Steps;
a) Make sure that exparchive is faster than batcharchive in all cases.
b) Switch everyone over to exparchive
c) Remove batcharchive from recipies
d) Remove batcharchive from the isolate binary.
e) Rename exparchive to archive.
Chromium Perf have been moved off for Mac+Win builders. Still yet to move on Linux.
Other people currently using isolate are;
* skia
* v8
I've reached out to both teams.
Removing recipes component as this is not a change against the recipe platform, but rather the swarming recipe module. Assigning tentative priority as well.
We need to reach out to v8 and skia people to make sure they roll their binaries and are not getting a performance regression. It would be good to get them to test with the --exparchive to see if they get speed ups too.
I've asked dpranke@ to reach out to rmistry@ & machenbach@ and make sure they are in the loop / understand what is happening.
