[freeciv-ai] What the AI spends its time doing...

[Per Inge Mathisen <per@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a very big savegame. One turn end. In case you wonder, the time
for an activity is on the following line after the '...'.

2: ... 0,03 seconds. c: Manage government
2: ... 0 seconds. c: Manage taxes
2: ... 0 seconds. c: Manage cities
2: ... 1,18 seconds. c: Manage tech, space and aidata cleanup
2: ... 0 seconds. c: Last activities done

2: ... 0,04 seconds. h: Manage government
2: ... 0 seconds. h: Manage taxes
2: ... 0 seconds. h: Manage cities
2: ... 2,09 seconds. h: Manage tech, space and aidata cleanup
2: ... 0 seconds. h: Last activities done

2: ... 0,01 seconds. b: Manage government
2: ... 0 seconds. b: Manage taxes
2: ... 0 seconds. b: Manage cities
2: ... 0,87 seconds. b: Manage tech, space and aidata cleanup
2: ... 0 seconds. b: Last activities done

2: ... 0,03 seconds. a: Manage government
2: ... 0 seconds. a: Manage taxes
2: ... 0 seconds. a: Manage cities
2: ... 2,07 seconds. a: Manage tech, space and aidata cleanup

2: ... 0,03 seconds. f: Manage government
2: ... 0 seconds. f: Manage taxes
2: ... 0 seconds. f: Manage cities
2: ... 1,82 seconds. f: Manage tech, space and aidata cleanup
2: ... 0 seconds. f: Last activities done

2: ... 0,01 seconds. g: Manage government
2: ... 0 seconds. g: Manage taxes
2: ... 0 seconds. g: Manage cities
2: ... 0,13 seconds. g: Manage tech, space and aidata cleanup
2: ... 0 seconds. g: Last activities done

2: ... 0 seconds. (all): Generating movemap
2: ... 5,95 seconds. (all): Done generating movemap

2: ... 0,04 seconds. h: Generating aidata
2: ... 0 seconds. b: Generating aidata
2: ... 0 seconds. a: Generating aidata
2: ... 0 seconds. c: Generating aidata
2: ... 0,01 seconds. f: Generating aidata
2: ... 0 seconds. g: Generating aidata

2: ... 0,34 seconds. h: Manage units
2: ... 3,57 seconds. h: All first activities done

2: ... 0,14 seconds. b: Manage units
2: ... 0,29 seconds. b: All first activities done

2: ... 0,26 seconds. a: Manage units
2: ... 1,87 seconds. a: All first activities done

2: ... 0,2 seconds. c: Manage units
2: ... 6,67 seconds. c: All first activities done

2: ... 0,18 seconds. f: Manage units
2: ... 7,26 seconds. f: All first activities done

2: ... 0,03 seconds. g: Manage units
2: ... 0,52 seconds. g: All first activities done

None of the governments did a governments reevaluation, but I hacked in a
timing check on turn start, and noticed that each govt reeval took less
than a second. However, as I passed some turns, I noticed this:

2: ... 7,7 seconds. (all): Done generating movemap
2: ... 8,99 seconds. (all): Done generating movemap
2: ... 11,8 seconds. (all): Done generating movemap

The movemap spends quite a bit of CPU time. So we'd better use this soon
for something useful, and preferably for something that speeds up other
code ;) But it is moving units around that costs the most CPU cycles.
Speeding up the movemap would also be a nice idea. And why is the movemap
increasing every turn in CPU time?
