I only looked very briefly, but it seemed like there's no information on how many threads a particular process was using... Did I miss that, or is it a feature request (happy to open a GitHub issue on this if that makes sense)

I'm mostly interested in high-level info (how many tests are running in parallel, which test processes consume most time, how are they launched, how well are the available resources being used), not detailed info about the various processes involved, so seems like buildprof could help with that...

I made a tool that shows where the time goes when you compile software. It’s called buildprof. Run it in front of any build command and it puts every process the build spawns on a timeline. It doesn’t care whether the build is Cargo, Ninja, Make, Zig or a pile of shell scripts.

Kenneth Hoste (boegel) @boegel.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Started taking a look at buildprof, looks *really* interesting... Do you think it could make sense to also use this for figuring out where time is spent when running a particular test suite, and why it is slow? In particular, could it help to identify oversubscribing in terms of threads vs cores?
