CMake performance Analysis
During the 31st 3D Slicer Project Week, we found a loss of performance in CMake for the generation of Slicer targets in the operating system Windows. The performance loss means the time for the generation of the target is larger than the operating system Linux. This page analysises the performance loss in Windows in several computers: two desktops and a laptop. The computer configurations are shown in the table below.
| Desktop1 | Desktop2 | Surface | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processor | Intel i7-6700 CPU 3.40GHz | Intel i7-6700 CPU 3.40GHz | Intel i7-8650U CPU 2.11GHz |
| RAM | 16GB | 16GB | 16GB |
| Disk storage | HHD | SSD | SSD |
| Operating system | Windows 10 x64 | Windows 10 x64 | Windows 10 x64 |
Enviroment
The test enviroment uses the CMake version 3.14.4 and the master branch of Slicer repository of the fork mt4sd link.
The 21 tests were run in different configuration variables. The modified variables are: Slicer_BUILD_CL, Slicer_BUILD_I18N_SUPPORT, Slicer_USE_PYTHONQT, Slicer_BUILD_QTLOADABLEMODULES, Slicer_BUILD_QTSCRIPTEDMODULES, Slicer_EP_LABEL_REMOTE_MODULE, CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES. The internationalization(I18n) is not activated any tests.
Results
The table below shows the command line and the times for each test.

Conclusions
We observe several behaviours:
- The hard disk technologic and number of targets affects the time
