So if I get this right, significant speedup for rosmake could be achieved by replacing yaml.load() with yaml.load(..., Loader=yaml.CLoader) and yaml.dump with cPickle.dump Does anyone have the time to investigate whether this also gets us significant improvements for any of the other yaml-bound packages that we use? Such as: rostopic rosservice rosbag rosmsg rosparam roslaunch rospy actionlib dynamic_reconfigure rosdoc At least for rosbag, I seem to remember seeing complaints about speed on answers.ros.org, that could of course be related to something different entirely.
