Hello, team!

Problem statement

On my linter I was noticed that after turning on "race detection" my tests (based on analysistest.RunWithSuggestedFixes) started to last instead of 10 seconds on average 50:

$ go test -count 1 ./...                                    
ok      github.com/xxx/analyzer       13.136s

$ go test -count 1 -race ./...                                    
ok      github.com/xxx/analyzer       69.423s

Linter code does not use goroutines and synchronization mechanisms – just typical AST analysis.
But we have ~10 testdata packages with generated test and golden files pairs (avg 200 lines per file).
analysistest.Run runs separatly per package (with t.Parallel()).

I tried to repeat it on go/analysis checkers:

$ go version                                                      
go version go1.21.0 darwin/arm64

$ cd $GOPATH/pkg/mod/golang.org/x/tools@v0.12.0/go/analysis/passes

Question

Such slowing - is it expected behavior or not?

P.S. I apologize for the superficial (evaluative) tests instead of point profiling. Thanks.

This is expected — it is within the bounds described in https://go.dev/doc/articles/race_detector#Runtime_Overheads.

Yes, I'm aware about this, but never experienced before such a significant slowdown.
Thanks.
