#5163 Metrics do not account for bootstrapping time Issue created by stuhood Metrics reported by pants itself do not currently account for time spent in options parsing and other bootstrapping, which (because they involve access to git and other things) can account for a significant amount of time. As demonstrated, about a second is unaccounted for here:

$ time ./pants -x list :: | wc -l
