bnjbvr opened PR #4181 from reuse-context to main:

cranelift-codegen has a context that may be reused to spare memory allocations, and it happens that it is not reused in wasmtime right now, but instead re-created for each function compilation. I've extended the sharing of the FuncTranslator data type during compilation to cranelift_codegen::Context too.

This causes tiny speedups of compile times, but in the noise range:

I've also implemented batch compilation, i.e. group functions together based on the bytecode size until it reaches some predefined threshold and send that as a unit of work per thread. That was something implemented in Spidermonkey and which helped lower the overhead cost of parallelization. But in wasmtime I only got slowdowns, independently of the benchmark, independently of the thresholds... so I guess rayon does already a great job with work stealing etc. I've removed the batch compilation from this PR, but the code is in this branch if people are interested.
