Explanation:
* `--spawn_strategy=local` is the baseline. This is the fastest possible
approach (no sandbox), but does never runs in production.
* `--spawn_strategy=sandboxed` is the default for Bazel. This is what happens
if one does not pass any arguments.
* `--spawn_strategy=sandboxed --experimental_reuse_sandbox_directories` is an
optimization which is meaningful on sandboxes with many files. As of Bazel 6
this has been [promoted to stable][3], so safe to use and, as one can see in
the numbers, recommended with both bazel-zig-cc and a nontrivial sysroot. As
a result, this is the most important benchmark to look at.
Flame graphs and discussion
---------------------------
Flame graphs and more tests are in results/. As of 2022-12-11 most of the
overhead comes from creating and deleting the sandboxes.
Flame graphs in results/. Only of historical interest, because the original
performance issues have been resolved with a combination of zig and
bazel-zig-cc changes.
