Speed up SonarCloud pipeline for PR validation

Is there some way to make this faster?

Hi, from the guide Colin mentioned, I would recommend to start by adding more CPUs to your build machines:

Increase build machine resources

Static code analysis is resource intensive. By increasing the number of CPUs on your build machines, MSBuild will run concurrently. When analysing various open source projects with Sonar, we have seen significant improvements when increasing the CPU count.

For example, the tables below show that increasing from 4 CPUs to 8 CPUs can reduce the analysis time by almost 40%.

This works in practice:

@Mibe

We did made improvements already for our builds. We doubled our CPU’s for the build machines, I guess those were the biggest bottleneck for now. The time reduced from 40 minutes to 15 minutes.

Also, make sure you don’t run the analysis twice (during build and test execution).
