Run the installer under "eatmydata" to speed up the process. Also add
some more information about timing.
In some VMs that we install daily ({ce,pro,carrier}-trunk.mgm) we have
the following timings:
ce-runner, no eatmydata:
162 seconds, 2 mins 42 secs
ce-runner, with eatmydata:
142 seconds, 2 mins 22 secs
pro-runner, no eatmydata:
246 seconds, 4 mins 06 secs
pro-runner, with eatmydata:
217 seconds, 3 mins 37 secs
So in these machines, for CE we save about 20 seconds, which is not much
in total but it's about 12.5% saving; and in Pro about 30 seconds (and
twice, once per machine, so about a minute in total), which is about
12.2% as well.
In Carrier, which is mostly equivalent to Pro in this respect and
typically at least 8 machines, it would mean about 4 mins in total.
When installing in hardware in previous days, maybe due to the disks
being slower, the total installation time was slightly slower:
pro-hardware (Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250), with eatmydata:
226 seconds, 3 mins 46 secs
Installing without eatmydata was not measured yet in hardware, but given
that the time to install is similar to the case of pro-runner, probably
the performance gain is similar too.
This looks like a relevant saving, the risk of things going wrong are
minimal, so enable it by default.
