Is there a way to not copy unchanged static files to build folder?

you could use gulp to manage them. I do that with sass/js/images, works great. That is a lot of data.

I recently find out about --incremental flag. I thought it might help my problem. However I’m experiencing something weird which I explained here:

I can't underestand the behaviour of --incremental flag

The first time I tried to build my website with --incremental flag, it took about 1000 seconds. Then immediately I tried to build again and it took 14 seconds and it is really a good result. However I restarted my pc and then tried rebuilding again. This time it took about 400 seconds to build while nothing was changed in my website. Although its still better than the initial 1000 second to build the website from scratch but its still too much while nothing is changed. I cant understand this be…

with this flag, shouldn’t jekyll try not to transfer unchanged static files to _site?
