Re: 回复: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 00/13] BaseTools,CryptoPkg,MdePkg,OvmfPkg: Delete CLANG35,CLANG38,GCC48,GCC49, rename GCC5 to GCC, update CLANGDWARF, delete VS 2008-2013, EBC

["Michael D Kinney" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

Rebecca,

I have a test PR running that splits up CodeQL analysis 
and builds to attempt to balance the execution times.

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/4233

GitHub Actions CodeQL:
* Max job time ~21 minutes
* Total Action Time ~31 minutes
Azure Pipelines Builds:
* Max job time ~32 minutes
* Total job time ~36 minutes

This is a reduction of about 6 minutes from other PRs
in recent history, so may be worth checkin in.

There is also a dependency on the total number of agents.
If we have more jobs than agents, them they get queued
up and will not run until another job completes.

Mike
