Hello everyone! 
As part of optimizing Jekyll for v4.0, I’ve opened a new pull request
I’d love it if you guys here (especially those who have large sites using numerous includes) could use that PR’s branch to give a test-run and see if there’s a significant improvement in the build times between the PR branch and Jekyll’s master branch:
gem "jekyll", git: repo, ref: "refs/pull/7542/head"
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
@ashmaroli
There’s a significant gain for my rather large site. Knocked about 40 seconds off the build time!
| 3.8.5 | master | refs/pull/7542 |
|---|---|---|
| 121.766s | 83.576s | 86.019s |
jekyll-seo-tag seems busted with these changes, but everything else looks good from a glance.
Thank you for testing.
But, I was looking for the comparison between the master branch and the PR branch since it has already been established that the master branch is significantly faster than v3.8.5
P.S. jekyll-seo-tag will be fixed around the same time Jekyll 4.0 is finalized.
I completely missed the part about testing against master. I’ve amended my numbers above. Looks like the PR branch took about a 3 second hit compared to master.
Oh! That’s a big hit albeit unexpected though.
Thank you very much Michael.
