Jekyll community,
We are looking for volunteers you to test some branches of our latest optimizations experiments.
If you have a large jekyll website (1000+ pages) , help us ship Jekyll v3.8.0 by testing the latest version in your Gemfile:
gem 'jekyll", "3.8.0.pre.rc2"
To get an average build time, you can run a few builds with a simple script like:
#! /bin/bash
set -ex
bundle exec jekyll clean
for i in {1..5}
do
bundle exec jekyll build
sleep 2
done
Please share your results, for instance like:
- Repo: https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes
- Theme: minimal-mistakes
- Posts: 62
- Collections: 2 / Documents : 7
- Plugins: jekyll-paginate, jekyll-sitemap, jekyll-feed, jekyll-gist, jemoji
Build times
| 3.7.3 | 3.8.0.pre.rc-2 |

| 14.993 | 11.022 |

| 13.51 | 11.54 |
Built on:
- macOS 10.13.4

Bonus: If you can generate a flamegraph with rbspy, it’s even better!
rbspy record -- bundle exec jekyll build
(on macOS run the command with sudo)
Thanks for the feedback you can provide.
