Generally the test loads a big dill thats 90+% the same content as the
previous load, then verifies it.
This CL loads smarter and verifies less.
Before this CL, locally, running
pkg/frontend_server/test/frontend_server_flutter.dart took
real 24m56.080s
user 48m42.422s
sys 1m2.360s
and the suite edition (using 4 shards in isolates) took
real 15m9.196s
user 53m41.118s
sys 1m30.045s
With this CL, locally running
pkg/frontend_server/test/frontend_server_flutter.dart takes
real 5m0.206s
user 9m23.933s
sys 0m20.984s
and the suite edition takes
real 3m24.243s
user 12m0.069s
sys 0m28.131s
On the try-bot the runtime seems to have gone from ~40 minutes
to ~20 minutes, the "compile flutter tests" step from ~30 minutes to
~10 minutes and the portion of time actually running the
dart-code that compiles, loads and verifies, from ~26 minutes
to ~7 minutes.
