Description
As reported in #144064, this PR added some non-trivial overhead to lit invocations, making development cycle significantly longer.
It was suggested to compute this once and put in some kind of cache to prevent re-evaluations, maybe some lit cache or even CMake, but 22 seconds I measured is still a long time.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue points to lit invocations and CMake, with the regression described in #144064; start by reproducing the reported 22-second cost and tracing the out-of-process JIT support check. Compare the available lit-cache or CMake-cache approaches, and consider the work done when repeated lit invocations no longer reevaluate the check and the performance improvement is measured.
