This comes down to the lack of a 'seq' command (what?!) and the fact that
BSD "wc -l" returns extra whitespace, while the GNU version doesn't. We
should be using numeric comparisons instead of string comparisons, and then
it's ok.
redo: 5.4s
redo -j4: 3.0s
make: 2.3s
make -j4: 1.4s
make SHELL=/bin/dash: 1.2s
make SHELL=/bin/dash -j4: 0.83s
We have some distance to go yet. Of course, redo is still written in
python, not C, so it's very expensive, and the on-disk dependency store is
very inefficient.
