From 217ea1a799e23d2badb02b8e638e2b778ef67769 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Jones Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 09:30:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ci: use thin LTO and a larger runner for the Windows wheel build (#3716) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The Windows wheel job is the slowest job in the PyPI release workflow. Fat LTO of the cdylib is single-threaded and the peak-memory step of the build, so it does not get faster with more cores — and it has already caused rustc-LLVM OOM on the Windows runners for the nodejs builds. Switch the job to thin LTO with 16 codegen units on a `windows-2025-8x-x64` runner, trading some runtime performance on our least performance-sensitive platform for build time. This matches what the nodejs Windows builds in `npm-publish.yml` already do. `pypi-publish.yml` is in this workflow's `pull_request` paths filter, so this PR triggers a dry-run build that shows the new timing. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) --- .github/workflows/pypi-publish.yml | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/.github/workflows/pypi-publish.yml b/.github/workflows/pypi-publish.yml index 4f5a927dc..b80c1b019 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/pypi-publish.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/pypi-publish.yml @@ -129,6 +129,12 @@ jobs: # link.exe is single-threaded and the long pole on Windows builds.
