6207 <title>Python 3 Profile-Guided Optimization</title>
6208
6209 <para>
6210 The <filename>python3</filename> recipe now enables profile-guided
6211 optimization.
6212 Using this optimization requires a little extra build time in
6213 exchange for improved performance on the target at runtime.
6214 And, the optimization is only enabled if the current
6215 <link linkend='var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></link>
6216 has support for user-mode emulation in QEMU (i.e. "qemu-usermode"
6217 is in
6218 <link linkend='var-MACHINE_FEATURES'><filename>MACHINE_FEATURES</filename></link>,
6219 which it is by default).
6220 </para>

6223 If you wish to disable Python profile-guided optimization
6224 regardless of the value of
6225 <filename>MACHINE_FEATURES</filename>, then ensure that
6226 <link linkend='var-PACKAGECONFIG'><filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename></link>
6227 for the <filename>python3</filename> recipe does not contain "pgo".
6228 You could accomplish the latter using the following at the
6229 configuration level:
6230 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
6231 PACKAGECONFIG_remove_pn-python3 = "pgo"
6232 </literallayout>
6233 Alternatively, you can set
6234 <filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename> using an append file for the
6235 <filename>python3</filename> recipe.
