gollark: <@88004288600633344> What does `bash -x` do?
gollark: I have no idea exactly how it works, but basically it's effectively transparent and you just get more cores/threads.
gollark: Maybe you can try optimizing it a bit.
gollark: What project is this?
gollark: Don't ask about asking to ask, ask to ask about asking.
