Hope this isn't a silly question, but... what exactly is the

native_client

and what's its relation to

pantsd

? When I first heard talk of the native client, I thought that it was the

pantsd

Gotta say, whatever it is, there is a niiiice little startup perf bump on 2.17

Thanks Stu. BTW - I need to run more tests, but the speed improvement might facilitate completions being done by calling back into Pants. Need to see if we’re at those speeds yet, rather than all the other help caching ideas of yesteryear

i see around 275ms for help… ~97% of the remaining runtime is in the server, so if the codepath in the server is fast enough, you could drop it down to 9ms
