Even though I wont be there. I would like to add an item.

3) Rein Memory consumption of bitbake.

As I wont be there. Here is some background.

I am seeing that bitbake is eating up roughly 600M of precious ram
persistently for whole of build process. I was ok if it did not hold
this but it does keep it for the complete process. We need to do
something about it. Some folks still have machines with 1G - 2G RAM

and python keeps consistently taking 15-20% of CPU time. This is the
python which is executing bitbake. Bitbake is quite resource hungry

Another problem is with the cache, as you build more and more machines
bitbake runqueue generation slows down drastically its evident when
I build say console-image for just qemuarm and then build for other
machines using same dir.

We need to do something about it.

Thanks
