When I build chrome, I found that make_core_generated_css_longhand_property_classes step takes long time on z840 linux.
~/chromium/src$ touch third_party/WebKit/Source/build/scripts/core/css/properties/make_css_property_subclasses.py
~/chromium/src$ time ninja -C out/Release/ make_core_generated_css_longhand_property_classes
ninja: Entering directory `out/Release/'
[2/3] ACTION //third_party/WebKit/Source/core:make_core_generated_css_longhand_property_classes(//build/toolchain/linux:clang_x64)
real 0m32.477s
user 0m32.168s
sys 0m0.296s
Can we improve this time?
Sometimes this 30 seconds step becomes critical path of chrome build when goma backend cache is sufficiently warmed.
