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. Change-Id: I8267fad08ff337c02801fb8fad0433d9b6d9f4c2mr10.0
