IMO, it a very useful feature for CI/CD and development as we don't
need to see any Traffic generator to see any regression.
I think, enabling CONFIG_RTE_TEST_PMD_RECORD_CORE_TX_CYCLES
configuration is overhead to use in all the environments.
How about adding a "new forward" engine with and remove
CONFIG_RTE_TEST_PMD_RECORD_CORE_TX_CYCLES.
The new forward engine will have
CONFIG_RTE_TEST_PMD_RECORD_CORE_TX_CYCLES code enabled.
So the application can use the forward engine dynamically. aka the
same build works for both cases.
